We educate so you can LEARN the building blocks for economic transformation
Our educational programs help you
organize for the solidarity economy.
To us, popular education is:
01
Participatory
Hands on. Involved. Good
learning is a co-production
between thoughtful people.
Also, it’s way more fun.
02
Practical
You should leave with skills that
you can apply now. You’ll get the high-level framework—but also the ability to just do it.
03
Visionary
Together, we’ll imagine the better economy that we can build through these practices—and think through how.
So, we’ve built a couple programs
that embody these principles:
Semesterly Curriculum Series

Resources & Tools
You’ll have a better understanding of the resources available, and how to use them to change the system.
A Certificate
You’ll become a member of the SEIZE network and receive a certificate in the Fundamentals of the Solidarity Economy
The Social Economy Mentorship Internship: Program Partnership
The SEMI program is designed to support the development of your soft and hard skills while you contribute meaningfully to a SSE project. Apply with your own project or be placed as an intern with an active SSE project.
Mentorship
As a part of the SEMI program, you will be matched with an experienced professional who will provide you with guidance to help you develop project-related skills. Once you have been matched with a mentor, you will have at least five one-on-one consultation sessions together.
Financial Support
As a participant in the SEMI program, you will receive $1,000 for your project. This financial support is intended to allow you to focus on the development of skills related to your SSE project.
Networking Opportunities
Participants accepted into the SEMI program gain the support of not only their mentor but also a network of like-minded individuals. Joining this network gives you access to events and resources that can help you along your journey.
