This material represents an effort by Cooperatives of the Americas to learn about, systematize, and improve actions aimed at youth integration in our cooperatives. The eight case studies are a sample of our rich diversity, as well as the enormous potential represented by the possibility of channeling the spirit of youth of the Americas through our cooperative sector.
Understanding what our young people demand, generating specific responses and, above all, concrete spaces for them to get involved in the management of their own cooperative destinies should be a permanent obligation of Cooperatives of the Americas.
In a continent that is predominantly youthful, but highly exclusive, cooperatives are one of the best responses to integrate youth into a life project that allows their full development and actively involves them in the transformation of our continent.
