Polaris cooperative is a housing cooperative in the Belnap Neighborhood of Grand Rapids, located We Here at Polaris we strive for members who are compassionate, honest, respectful, mindful and open to all co-op members. We prefer hardworking individuals that can connect with ourselves, each other and nature. To also come together to problem solve, work as a team, think outside of the box and face conflict with grace and compassion if/when it arises.
Things to consider when living in a co op:
- stewardship to land and property
- open communication with one another
- when one person struggles, we all struggle
- investing in your time and some money to the co op
- communicating respectfully and effectively
- consistency with maintaining spaces/land/home (choring)
- there will be get togethers such as meetings, committees and dinners with one another along side of the occasional event, there must be a desire for group connection
- helping lift each other up (and the space!)
