Join the movement

Be part of the global celebration of the United Nations’ IYC 2025 and help showcase the power of cooperation and mutuality.
2025 is a chance to shine a light on New Zealand’s cooperative and mutual businesses, your history and the profound and meaningful impact you have had on your members and the communities you operate in.
Sharing your stories is one way to increase awareness and grow interest in the purpose of co-ops and mutuals, and how we deliver value and positively impact society and the economy.
Keen to get involved?
