  Program Director

  CFL’s Cooperative Development Program (CDP) is a nationally recognized leader in development of cooperative businesses in immigrant, low-income communities. These businesses are wholly worker-owned and democratically-run, which means that workers set their own fair wages, schedules, and business practices. Since 2006, we have provided tailored technical assistance and training to 21 cooperatives representing 540 worker-owners, and trained 30+ community-based organizations on cooperative development. Currently, we are focusing on developing and scaling the growth of cooperatives in the cleaning sector throughout New York City. This includes our support for BrightlyⓇ, a new franchise of cleaning cooperatives that share branding and back-office systems. We also support Up & Go, a cooperatively owned app for consumers to book cleaning services from worker cooperatives. We believe that it is more important than ever to strengthen community self-determination, leadership, and advocacy. Show less
