We are thrilled to announce that Cougar Pride Center will be transitioning from a corporate structure to a cooperative structure. This means that the organization will now be governed by a Cooperative of Members, where every member of the organization will have the same say in decisions.
Members will be evaluating our programs and operations under this new framework and collectively prioritizing what comes next.
Whether you are a student, a parent, a community leader, or neighbor, thereβs a place for you in our Cooperative. We have opportunities for any level of participation or contribution and weβd love for you to join us.
We hope that these changes allow you to more easily engage with us, participate in our growth, and join us in serving our community.
This may cause temporary disruptions or outdated information. Weβre working hard to update the website and all our programs. If you encounter any issues, please donβt hesitate to reach out!
