When child care is hard to find and harder to afford, some communities aren't waiting for a fix.
Kristin Forde Hurckes of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension Center for Cooperative explains how cooperative models are helping - and where they hit their limits.
Kristin Forde Hurckes is part of the team of Cooperative Development Specialists at the UW Center who supports worker cooperatives in rural community, with an emphasis on worker cooperative conversions.
She emphasizes the importance of both individual and collective commitment to the significant cultural and organizational change that is required to shift toward democratic and participatory decision making.
Kristin enjoys learning about the many creative ways cooperatives organize and structure themselves; and developing effective formats for group processes.
