Good Neighbors Credit Union is a member-owned cooperative. Cooperatives operate with values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity.
For this project, please reflect on one or two of the cooperative values, your own life and community involvement. Which of these values resonates most with you? How are you actively embodying these values in your own day to day?
Share your experiences and insights on the importance of community involvement and volunteering, emphasizing the positive impact it has on both individuals and society as a whole. Feel free to give current examples and/or put together a plan as to how you could potentially put these into action in the future.
