The Community Enterprise & Solidarity Economy Clinic represents worker-owned cooperative businesses, non-profit, or small businesses that operate for the benefit of an underserved community. Community enterprises exist to change the way we work and to empower people to take control of their own quality of life. The solidarity economy means regular people working for themselves and each other. The clinic's clients often promote equity, practice democratic decision-making, and build sustainability in their neighborhoods.
