Mission
CoCreation is a social good incubator that empowers and equips change-makers to launch restorative businesses and nonprofits for our communities.
Vision
CoCreation’s vision is to realign leaders with their truest values and create meaningful work that restores the vulnerable.
Description
Everyone has an idea inside of them that is unique to their personality, gifts, experiences, and context. An idea for a solution to a problem no one else is solving. An idea that has the potential to restore a vulnerable aspect of our community. An idea that could be a creative initiative, an impactful nonprofit, or a profitable business that brings goodness, beauty, and restoration into our world.
Most of us do not have the energy or luxury to dream. A web of resources is needed to bring this good idea to life:
Self-awareness work, communal support, systemic understanding of the need, knowledge of available assets, financial resources, and connection to networks of influence. Anyone who tries to start something authentic and truly restorative has to figure all of this out on their own. (Trust me)
Where do they even begin? Who would take their thoughts and ideas seriously? When would they find the time in their already maxed out schedule? Discouraged yet? Don’t be.
CoCreation has launched a Social Good Incubator for restorative ideas. Through a unique blend of spiritual formation, innovation, and restoration, CoCreation nurtures and launches social enterprises and initiatives. We provide the resources, mentorship, and network necessary to turn visionary ideas into substantial organizations that positively reshape our community.
Friends,
Our community faces a myriad of complex challenges: the relentless demands of hustle culture, the rising cost of living, the isolation of managing a household without community, the normalcy of anxiety and depression, addiction to work, and the challenges of finding dignifying work that honors individuals and provides for a family. Amidst all this stress, nurturing a marriage and raising emotionally healthy children can feel impossible.
CoCreation aims to address these pressing issues head-on. We have launched the 'Social Good Incubator,' a transformative space where leaders can rediscover their greatest passions and create meaningful work that meets our community's deepest needs. This incubator supports change-makers, nonprofits, and caring citizens to collaboratively address the most urgent needs in our community.
CoCreation offers a counter-cultural way of work and life for leaders disenchanted with the daily grind. There is abundant life available NOW and it is for everyone. Our mission is to connect people to their passions and guide them in creating businesses, nonprofits, and community initiatives that not only rebalance their lives but also restore the vulnerable in our communities.
