Community Focus

COhatch has a strong community focus.  It often renovates historic buildings to serve as local community hubs.  And it offers reduced membership rates for private non-profit organizations.  Simply Living has partnered with COhatch and has a very affordable nonprofit coworking membership.  It provides our mailing address (659 High Street, Worthington, Ohio 43085), which is the COhatch Worthington hardware store location.  And we use its meeting rooms at various locations for Board of Directors meetings and some of our sponsored events and get-togethers.

Membership Options

Day passes are available that provide one-time access to the workspace.  There are also coworking memberships, which are recurring monthly plans that provide access to any COhatch location, high-speed internet, meeting rooms, printing services, & complimentary coffee.  And there are private offices, dedicated, lockable spaces with 24/7 access.  Detailed pricing & plans can be viewed at the COhatch Shop page.

Scholarships

Much of the time the people working on the most important issues facing the world are the same ones who have limited access to the resources needed to accomplish their mission.  COhatch offers scholarships to nonprofits, startups, and community organizations so that they have the space & community they need to be effective.

It’s also begun partnering with local organizations serving the community that could use our skillset to enrich what they do.  There is also a newspaper providing stories from across the COhatch community, highlighting its amazing members and inspiring others to get involved wherever they are.
