The California Center for Cooperative Development provides direct education and networking opportunities to cooperatives and the general public through several annual trainings. 

Nuts and Bolts of Cooperative Housing trains affordable housing developers, community organizers, and funders how to implement the Limited Equity Housing Cooperative model to create permanent affordable housing with ownership. In 2010 this training will be held on September 23 in Sacramento.

The 2010 California Co-op Conference  focused on the cooperative model’s integral role in job creation and rebuilding California’s local economies. This year's conference took place in Santa Rosa on April 9th & 10th.

The Agricultural Directors and Executive Education training provides governance and financial training to agricultural cooperatives. The conference will next be held November 8 and 9, 2010 in Sacramento.

The Western Worker Co-op Conference is organized by CCCD staff on behalf of the Western Worker Cooperative Conference Planning Board. This conference is held every other year; the 2009 conference was September 7-10 at Breitenbush Hot Springs in Oregon.

CCCD is currently working with our partners to create new educational events, including a “Grow Your Own Food Co-op” program for California’s underserved communities and a university-level co-op training course for Co-op Camp Sierra. Help make these events a reality by donating to CCCD. We welcome funders to contact us about underwriting any of our events at: info@cccd.coop.
