Membership
An Mheitheal Comhshaol is a multi-stakeholder cooperative and membership is open to all. Cooperatives are alternative orgainsational models to capitalist models of ownership; their activities are run by the members and not by individual owners or shareholders.
Classes of membership
We have three classes of members:
1. Worker members
- Those employed by the co-op
- Trainees
2. Volunteer members
- Those committed to regular, formal volunteering, such as our volunteer mechanics
3. Community members
- Service users such as people who come to our DIY workshops
- Occasional/ad hoc volunteers
- Anyone with an interest in what we do
Each member class elects a representative to our board.

- Be an active part of our co-op, participating in decision making and operations
- Have the chance to put forward ideas and activities
