The Evergreen Cooperatives of Cleveland, Ohio are pioneering innovative models of job creation, wealth building, and sustainability also known as THE CLEVELAND MODEL. Our current model includes: the FUND FOR EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP, Evergreen Cooperative LAUNDRY, and Evergreen ENERGY SOLUTIONS. Evergreen’s employee-owned, for-profit companies are based locally and hire locally. We create meaningful green jobs and keep precious financial resources within our community. Our workers earn a living wage and build equity in their firms as owners of the business.
