This full-day gathering brings together facilitators, organizers, and community leaders committed to building Chicago’s solidarity economy. Through interactive formats like an Offers & Needs Market and a Rotating Credit Club, participants will exchange skills, strengthen relationships, and mobilize collective support for real projects. Join us to connect, collaborate, and build.
The Kola Nut Collaborative (KNC) is a mutual support network rooted in reciprocal exchange through a timebank, where one hour of time holds equal value for everyone. Through membership in KNC, people strengthen community bonds, expand economic freedom through alternative exchange, and reimagine self-sufficiency, interdependence, and how we value time.
