ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR OUR 2025-26 COHORT! Solidarity Circles are one way the Wendland-Cook Program is seeking to revitalize and build the church and Christian theology in positive ways. We believe that this work is deeply connected to the mission and vocation of Christian churches. Broadly understood, the cooperative and solidarity economy are ways of addressing longstanding economic inequalities within our society, including white supremacy and gender and sex inequities. Participants meet monthly for 90 minutes virtually and have separate 1:1s with facilitators and their colleagues to deepen relationships and develop a deeper contextual analysis for their work. Participants are also offered a free coaching meeting with a WCP coach. Participants receive access to a unique, private social media platform to further connect and build with other cohort members, past and present. Don’t miss your chance to connect with peers, gain valuable insights, and drive meaningful change in your community.
