Join the Membership, Join the Movement
In 2004, the Centre for Social Innovation opened Canada’s first coworking space. Since then, CSI Membership has expanded to offer shared supports for everyone on their social impact journey. Whether you’re looking for a tight-knit community, mentorship, entrepreneurial resources and training, or for a way to support people and planet, we’ve got something for you.
Today, CSI is Canada’s largest social innovation community. Some of our members are new to the social innovation world, while others have decades of entrepreneurial experience under their belt. We’ve got leaders of community-based initiatives, and intrapreneurs within large companies. There are individuals and organizations addressing food justice, racial justice, climate action, barriers to employment, workers’ rights, and more. The one thing that unites us? We all care deeply about making the world better for all.
Bring a friend! For a limited time, CSI Members can bring a guest to work in our member-only lounges.
