We are educating cooperatives through our new DotCoop Affiliate Scheme. This is a series of partnerships between DotCoop and other cooperative membership bodies and federations around the world. We aim to create a positive triangle of communication and support to empower cooperatives.
The Affiliate Relationship Visualized.

Our Partnership objectives:
🔎 To work together to identify what support is required by the cooperative members of the Affiliate when it comes to Cooperative Identity and Principle 6.
🔎 Explore the most impactful solutions to help support the membership of the affiliate, by connecting with local digital service providers for the .coop and .creditunion domains, online services, the Marque, as well as making cooperative tools and educational content available.
🔎 To provide an exchange for regional data on cooperatives to be placed on the Cooperative World Map, and for cooperatives to submit stories for posting on stories.coop.
We are happy and keen to work with any organisation that wishes to partner; to celebrate their membership, put cooperative data on the map, make the Cooperative Identity assets available and to assist with finding digital service providers. If your organisation would like to become a DotCoop Affiliate, please email tom@identity.coop and we will welcome you!

Youth Connect Cooperative (YCC)
Youth Connect Cooperative (YCC) was born during a global crisis, but founded on a shared belief in the power of youth, innovation, and cooperation. By January 2025, YCC proudly reached 34 members, composed of students, young professionals, and youth leaders active in the cooperative movement. Through it all, Youth Connect Cooperative remains grounded in its purpose: to be a platform where young cooperators can thrive, lead, and build a more inclusive future—together.
