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
