The coworking movement is giving millions of people all around the world an opportunity to redefine their relationship with work for the better. We’re here to ensure the movement does the very best job it can at\u00a0continuing to do that for everyone who finds it.<\/p>\n

Who we are<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We are a team of people located in Boulder, Dallas, the Netherlands, New York, Seattle, Sonoma, and elsewhere, alongside a large team of over 100 volunteers, administrators, supporters, and curators from all over the world. Learn more about us here<\/a>\u00a0and about our supporters here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What we do<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We maintain the public, neutral, and open resources that make the movement possible. These include the Coworking Wiki, Coworking Google Group, Coworking Visa program, the Coworking Blog, the Coworking Leadership Slack Channel, and so much more.<\/p>\n

What we want to do<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With your support, we seek to grow as an organization into one that is capable of doing much more to support the\u00a0movement and those who believe\u00a0in it. That includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Improving the existing resources to improve their design and make them easier to use.<\/li>\n
  2. Creating\u00a0new resources to make it easier for newcomers to get started.<\/li>\n
  3. Building\u00a0a map of coworking spaces everywhere.<\/li>\n
  4. Advocating on behalf of the movement.<\/li>\n
  5. Conducting surveys to gather information that demonstrate the impact coworking has on the neighborhoods it touches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
