What is TOP Co-Op?
The Oxygen Project Cooperative (TOP Co-Op) is a community that supports, trains, and connects budding change-makers. TOP Co-Op forwards our theory of change; to create a more conscious, regenerative, and climate-resilient world by providing an on-ramp to climate action through our Activate Your Activism program. During the 6-week curriculum, fellows will turn inspiration into action through up-skilling workshops, knowledge sharing from expert speakers, mentorship from the TOP team, and being in kindred community. Together, we aim to ignite the next generation of climate leaders.
Why the TOP Co-Op?
The TOP Co-Op is a free program for all accepted members. Throughout the curriculum, you will have the opportunity to develop and present a final project with the support of personalized mentorship from the TOP Team. The TOP Co-Op will provide long-term connection with The Oxygen Project network and allow for collaboration, future partnerships, and continued leadership opportunities, such as The Advisory Council.
