Work With MCA

Support collaborative living through shared participation, organization, communication, and community-led involvement.

Build Collaborative Communities Together

Model Communities Association supports collaborative living arrangements, shared governance structures, and community-led participation designed to encourage equitable, collaborative, and shareable ways of living and working together.

Form Your Own Model Community

Model Communities Association delivers a means to connect autonomous, equitable, collaborative, and shareable arrangements of any style and in any location. This model allows entities to exchange information and resources while building trust grounded in first-hand experiences.

Create an Association

Create an association as opposed to a more traditional legal structure. Did you know it’s possible to form organizations that are not incorporated? We promote the use of these associations instead of the more common legal entities because they encourage equitable, collaborative, and shared arrangements.

Collaborative Governance Toolset

Our collaborative governance toolset supports your community in maintaining your collaborative arrangement. By using the tools and structure we’ve outlined on this site, you empower your group to embrace a way of sharing based on trust and collaboration.
