At Beloved Community Incubator, we believe everyone deserves good wages, safe conditions, and meaningful work. That’s why we support workers in creating cooperatives—businesses they own and manage together. Cooperatives give workers control over pay, decision-making, and the future of their labor. A challenge to low-income workers accessing the benefits and possibility of cooperatives is the time investment it takes to build a business. So together, in partnership with Muslims for Just Futures, we’re taking the next step: launching an 18-month guaranteed income program in 2027 for 8–10 groups in the DC Metro Area. By pairing guaranteed income with cooperative incubation, participants will have the stability to build strong, sustainable worker-owned businesses. This is about more than jobs—it’s about building a solidarity economy where communities control resources and thrive together.
We are looking for someone to lead this work and collaborate across teams around strategy, design, implementation of the program, curriculum planning, administration, and assessment and evaluation, as well as sharing learnings and impact.
