SEIZE members have diverse backgrounds and experiences, yet they share common principles and values. By restricting eligibility to support members, SEIZE can more effectively ensure that those benefiting from its limited resources align with the organization's principles and goals.

Support members are organizations or individuals with demonstrated experience actively supporting or participating in the social solidarity economy. This involvement includes dedicating at least 40 hours to activities such as organizing community initiatives, contributing to social solidarity economy project/organization, or launching your own co-op or social enterprises.

Becoming a support member is a straightforward process; individuals and organizations can apply by completing the application form available here!
