'''NASCO''' stands for '''North American Students of COoperation'''.

==Mission Statement==

The North American Students of Cooperation (NASCO) Family of [[en/associations]] organizes and educates affordable group equity [[en/co-ops]] and their members for the purpose of promoting a community oriented cooperative movement.

==Its Mandate==

Since 1968, NASCO and its affiliates have been working with students, worker-owners, activists, and [[en/community]] members who are interested in applying [[en/cooperative]] principles to meet their needs and fulfill their various missions. NASCO provides education and technical assistance to its members and co-op organizing groups, assists its members in communicating with each other, acts to educate the public in cooperative principles and practices, and promotes the co-op movement as a whole.

NASCO acts to link group equity [[en/cooperatives]], primarily but not solely in the housing sector, and sees as its most important goal the improvement of operations through mutual aid and support. NASCO provides numerous opportunities for member [[en/co-ops]] to improve their operations through learning from other cooperatives. These linking opportunities include the [http://www.nasco.coop/institute/ Cooperative Education and Training Institute], [http://www.nasco.coop/leaders/ Emerging Co-op Leaders], the Staff and Manager's conference, [http://www.nasco.coop/antiopp/ Action Camp], Co-op Voices, [http://www.nasco.coop/guide/ the Guide to Campus Co-ops], the NASCO web site, and the [http://www.nasco.coop/internship/ NASCO Internship Network]. NASCO also provides direct services through on-site workshops, consulting contracts, organizational and financial advice, co-op development, compiling information on tax exemption, and other activities. NASCO also rescues [[en/co-ops]] from certain doom on a semi-regular basis.

==NASCO Affiliates==
In the late 1980s, two affiliated groups were created: the Campus Cooperative Development Corporation (CCDC) and NASCO Properties (NP). CCDC, now known as NASCO Development Services , works with local groups and with NP to develop new [[en/co-ops]], assist with financing and refinancing of projects, and to provide assistance for small [[en/co-ops]] who could not otherwise afford to have staff of their own. NP purchases and holds title to properties which are then leased by local [[en/cooperatives]]. A third affiliate, Lots in Common (LINC), was added in 2004. LINC is a joint venture title holding company formed in partnership with Riverton Community Housing.
