Get involved
Common Grounds is starting small, and will grow as its first project shows what works. If you would like to be part of it, here is how, and a form to start the conversation.
Ways to take part
Coffee shops in Arizona
The cooperative is starting with independent coffee shops. Under the draft, a shop joins as a contributor and becomes a Member by serving in a circle.
The path to becoming a MemberOther local food businesses
Restaurants and other food businesses are part of the plan once the coffee shop model repeats. Tell us now, and we will be in touch when the cooperative is ready.
Sustainability organizations and partners
Farms, gardens, composters, recyclers, universities, funders and city offices can work with the cooperative as partners or invited advisors.
Our Sustainability PartnerPeople who want to help
Volunteers help with circles, projects and community work, and experts can advise on one topic without taking on more.
What happens next
- We reply by email within a week. A Member will ask a little about your business and what you are looking for.
- There is no cost to register interest. Dues have not been set.
- Telling us commits you to nothing. The ROAST pilot depends on funding, so we cannot promise anyone a place in it yet.
