Education & Training

The Keystone Development Center’s team of consultants initially works with a group to assess needs.  Each client receives a uniquely designed program of assistance based on this needs assessment.  Our Education and Training Services are usually used in the beginning stages of cooperative development to establish a foundation of cooperative principals and structures. 

We have prepared workshops that can be adapted to the particular needs of your group. Workshops can also be designed in response to your specific needs.  Our educational suite includes but is not limited to the following:

  • Foundations of Cooperative Development
  • How Cooperatives Work: Creative Models to Increase Profits
  • Steering Committee Formation and Functions
  • Board Leadership Development
  • How to Assess the Feasibility of your Project
  • Community Outreach and Identifying Stakeholders

Interested groups must fill out our request for assistance form and be located within our coverage area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware.
