Participate

We need more people to help our cooperative and grocery store grow! With more members, we can extend opening hours, offer more products, and move forward with exciting projects!

What do we expect from you?

• Contribution to the cooperative’s share capital (minimum €15): by making this investment, you become a part-owner of Rizoma and, as such, also take responsibility for its sustainability and management.
• Participation in the life of the cooperative according to what you want and are able to give: you can take part in meetings and general assemblies, join a working group, or simply contribute to the life of the space and care for the community.
• A 3-hour work shift in the grocery store every 4 weeks: as part of our community-based vision, everyone becomes a member-worker. For now, the Consumption Section is the only one with mandatory shifts, but all sections have their own tasks and processes.

Where can you start?

The first step is to attend an Information Session. These sessions are a great way to learn more about the project and involve no commitment at all—feel free to sign up even if you’re not sure you want to join Rizoma yet!

Other ways to help
