Who We Are
COOP is building a diverse movement of upwardly mobile first-generation college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections.

We connect un-/underemployed first-gen college graduates to one another—within cohorts and across “generations” of cohorts. By growing their peer professional networks, members of our community achieve upward economic mobility by building the skills and connections they need for the careers they deserve.
