Cohousing-L Mailing List: 500 Communities Program Intro Webinar: Mar. 8

Training the next wave of cohousing professionals: The 500 Communities Program



Do you want to pursue a cohousing career? Maybe you're interested in 
sustainable community design, real estate development, project management, 
facilitation or marketing. The 500 Communities Program is a 12-month course 
designed by Katie McCamant to train collaborators, and meet the expanding need 
for professional support in creating new communities. The Program applies to 
many different job fields and was designed with all means of collaborative 
development in mind. Its intention is not to teach one model of cohousing, but 
to build on the lessons learned as we explore models of collaborative 
development not taught in university or trade school.



CoHousing Solutions President, Katie McCamant has been a cohousing architect, 
developer, project manager, consultant and resident for 35+ years. Not to 
mention, she cofounded the cohousing movement and coauthored the seminal book, 
Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves. Katie is widely 
considered an authority on this innovative housing model.



Beyond the curriculum, the Program provides a desperately needed community for 
community development professionals, and we’re recruiting for the 2023-2024 
course cycle NOW! We’re seeking candidates with:

  *   An entrepreneurial spirit
  *   Passion for cohousing
  *   Interest in the development process
  *   Communication skills
  *   Collaborative leadership skills



Consider joining Katie for a 500 Communities Program Introduction Webinar to 
learn more on March 8 @11am PST! You'll receive an overview of cohousing, more 
on Katie's background, and the Program basics.
