HOW TO GET INvolved When we have openings we usually post them here and on the Boston Co-op Network. We also welcome general inquiries, and will keep in touch with people about future openings.
What makes an ideal housemate? We find we work best with people who have experience living with others, and are skilled in group dynamics —— articulate, good negotiators, good at drawing others out —— as well as being good communicators in general. Traits We Look for in Building Community
uber-responsible, keeping commitments fabulous responsive communicator has time and skills to invest in community prefers to come home for dinner likes to host events and invite people over planning to stay long term (minimum 18 months) prefers bikes to cars, fresh food to frozen, quiet to noise, etc. Things That Pose Challenges out many evenings often away weekends/ frequent travel for work concerned about privacy (e.g. prefers doors closed) strict food regimen concerned about sharing tools, cars, kitchen items may move within a year or two recurring health conditions that limit ability or availability Skills we can always use more of

We find common goals draw us together despite differences in age, gender, or orientation. For inquirers, our process begins with email correspondence first (we ask that you paste in and fill out a house application for any posted opening) before scheduling phone interviews and finally house meetings. We're always happy to hear from others interested in intentional community. Please feel free to inquire!
