Youth programming has been a key pillar of MCA's work since inception. We are always looking for new ways to educate young people about co-ops and enourage them to become involved with their local co-ops.
Currently MCA offers a Co-op Youth Leadership Retreat over a span of 3 1/2 days in a beautiful camp like setting (for ages 15-18). Learning through participation is emphasized and the workshops encourage participants to play an active role in their leadership development process. The educational topics covered include: communication and public speaking skills, values discussions, working effectively in a group setting, diversity, global development, cooperation and cooperatives and leadership skills.

CCEDNet, MCA, ASU, and CDEM invite all to a free public screening of A Silent Transformation, followed by a panel discusion
Created by Simon Brothers, Luke Mistruzzi, Anton Smolski and Mark Preston, this is a film about the transformative power of the co-operative enterprise model.
The co-operative movement was built by people who took on the responsibility for their collective well being in the face of government neglect, economic exclusion and cultural discrimination. As the modern economy increasingly denies vast sectors of the population basic amenities for decent life, this cooperative spirit is as critical as ever.
However, over the years the co-op sector has become insular and poorly understood. A Silent Transformation sets out to explore the innovative self-help efforts of different communities across the Province of Ontario. By addressing their needs collectively they are helping to regain the radical vision of co-operation. In these communities are the seeds of economic democracy, global solidarity, and a new popular movement to transform society!
Will it grow and flourish?
