Snack Cooperative

🥨 Snack Cooperative

During Iowa Youth Tour, students will form and run their own cooperative to provide snacks throughout the trip. This hands-on project teaches the principles of cooperative business and member ownership.

🛠 How It Works:

  • Students elect a co-op board and manager
  • The co-op operates during the trip, offering snacks at reasonable prices
  • On Thursday, the co-op will hold an annual meeting to report on operations and officially dissolve
  • Any remaining funds (“margins”) may be returned to members as capital credits/patronage
