THE ROOST CO-OP
The Roost Co-Op was created to give our participants the opportunity to learn real work skills and earn a profit for the work they do. Every participant who attends The Roost Training Center and receives prevocational services is an equal member of The Roost Co-Op. All our prevocational activities are run under the co-op.
The Roost Co-Op consists of 3 main work crews: Stationery, Wood Shop, and Product. Each participant is placed in a crew that best fits their skill level. Participants will work within their crew for a month or more, learning the ins and outs of running their work crew business. If after a month, they want to change crews, participants can apply for a transfer to another work crew. Participants that apply for a transfer will go through an application and interview process.
In addition to these, there is another work crew, Garden, that each group will participate in on a rotating basis. Any income each crew makes goes back into the co-op.

Work Crews
Stationery CrewCrew members work to make stationery products such as greeting cards and gift tags. Members are responsible each week for taking inventory and purchasing supplies, and for research and development of new products to add to our product line.

Garden CrewCrew members gain job experience by learning how to plan, plant, water, harvest, and store food at a local garden located 3 miles from The Roost Training Center. We turn our crops into jams, salsas, butters, and seasonings – or give them away to families to cook with. The responsibility to care for our crops helps participants develop an appreciation for all life.
