The Fletcher Collective is now accepting applications for new members for the August 1, 2011 - July 31, 2012 year.  What's better is that our already affordable rates have just been reduced, due in part to our efforts to decrease our impact on the environment through energy efficiency!

Kalamazoo Collective Housing (KCH) is at an exciting time in its history! What started six years ago as a grassroots effort to plan a democratically-controlled cooperative housing organization in Kalamazoo has grown into a nationally-recognized solution that seeks a united community on all fronts.

Kalamazoo Collective Housing has hired Matthew Lechel as its new executive director.

Lechel previously served as campaign manager for State Representative Sean McCann, a fundraiser for the Girl Scouts and Director of Outdoor education for the YMCA. He also serves as a board member in a number of volunteer positions.

Circle Pines Center is a member-owned and run non-profit cooperative organization. It runs a children's summer camp and a year round retreat and conference center with programs for families, children and adults. The co-op owns 294 acres of land with rolling hills, hardwood and pine forests, meadows and frontage on Stewart Lake. We have miles of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, diverse wildlife and an organic garden and orchard. Summer camp registration is open now!
