THE CENTER FOR
COMMUNITY-BASED ENTERPRISE
Our Mission
The Center for Community-Based Enterprise’s mission is to build a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive living-wage local economy, by developing a cooperating network of worker-owned businesses. This is because worker ownership, or employee ownership, has the worker and the business' sustainability at its center, not just profit. For the community, worker ownership increases local spending and civic engagement. For the business, it increases productivity and growth. It helps job creators to lower worker turnover and leave a lasting legacy in their community.
