The Co-Co (https://www.theco-co.com/) is a women-led local business with female-forward content, community, and design. Our members are energized by supporting and inspiring women wherever they are on their journey of life and career. We are a collaborative co-learning and co-working community where members can work, learn and have fun. The Co-Co is located in a light-filled, free-standing building in downtown Summit, NJ, a short walk from the train station. The space offers 3,000+ square feet of vibrant space for our community to gather for co-working and co-learning. A beautifully-designed clubhouse space, The Co-Co provides areas for private conversations/meetings, phone booths for a quiet call, conference rooms, and tables for working on a laptop. The space is part social club and part co-working space. To fully welcome members wherever they are on their journey, The Co-Co offers three membership levels: Community, Part-Time and Full-Time. Community members do not need regular access to a workspace. These members are focused on growing, learning, and having fun in their personal and professional life. They enjoy participating in The Co-Co community and network and benefit from discounted rates for room rentals and the ability to buy day passes. Part-Time members join for a variety of reasons. Some work from home most of the time and crave connection and a place to focus as part of their work week. Others have an office elsewhere, perhaps the city, and enjoy a day off from the commute while enjoying the amenities of the office and the opportunity to build relationships with fellow co-workers in the local community. The Co-Co complements and adds to their weekly routine. Full-Time members want a long-term place to run their business and benefit from unlimited access to the workspace. Other available alternatives, like coffee shops and working from home, are no longer serving their growing business, and they benefit from a collaborative professional community for resources and camaraderie. The Co-Co also offers a full calendar of events for members and non-members alike and non-profit membership rates. We will have a large focus on developing active, intentional learning communities within the larger community.
