Coop Committees Looking for New Members

image_pdf

Join the Equity Access & Community Committee (the EACC) in doing important work for our Coop. Formerly known as the Diversity and Equality Committee, we are preparing a survey for members to answer anonymously. It will provide for the first time, an idea of the diversity of the Coop membership, to inform policies and practices going forward.

If you have experience with SurveyMonkey or can help in other ways with sharing this information, you can assist. There are also other areas of EACC work for new members to collaborate on after the survey is completed and distributed. If interested, please contact us at EquityAccess@psfc.coop.


Calling all communications, graphic design, grant prospecting and translation pros! The Cooperative Economics Alliance of NYC (CEANYC) is a home for co-ops of all kinds in the five boroughs, including of course Park Slope Food Coop! We gather together for shared learning, advocacy and camaraderie, all with the intention of growing cooperation and a solidarity economy across NYC. Come volunteer with us! CEANYC is seeking talented and reliable PSFC members who want to receive work credit for providing support in any of the following areas:

1) Regular, ongoing communications services, particularly helping us create, edit and send our quarterly newsletters and member updates. 

2) Graphic design services (to create event flyers and more). 

3) Foundation grant prospecting research to help us fund our unique and critical work.

4) Spanish-English translators to help us uphold our commitment to language justice for the many CEANYC members who speak Spanish. 

In each of these areas, we are seeking two freelancers who can each commit a minimum of one work shift (2.75 hours) per month. You can apply by sending an email to organize@gocoopnyc.org with: 1) a brief cover letter about your professional and co-op-related experience, as well as why you are motivated to support NYC’s growing solidarity economy; 2) your résumé; and 3) your general availability for a regular monthly check-in. Please use the following subject line: “PSFC-CEANYC Work Shift Opportunity.”  Learn more about CEANYC at: https://gocoopnyc.org/
