Alchemical Spaces Co-Working Office for Social Entrepreneurship. Free cooperative desk and office space now available on Near Westside.
The Alchemical Nursery, Syracuse 501(c)3 nonprofit working for "Regenerative Urban Lifestyles & Landscapes", has announced the opening of its "Alchemical Spaces Co-Working Office for Social Entrepreneurship" within the Gear Factory studio warehouse at 200 South Geddes St on the Near Westside of Syracuse, NY. Co-Working is the gathering of a group of people, who are working independently while sharing values, and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with talented people in the same space. Many times, co-workers are from the world of the self- employed; freelancers who have taken to working from home or the coffee shop, and would like more of the social interaction that a working office provides. In the case of "Alchemical Spaces" our goal is to bring together people in need of this type of working situation, and to focus on those that are developing social entrepreneurial projects, using business knowledge and acumen for the betterment of the social good. In addition, developing resources specific to social entrepreneurs and advancing knowledge of this working movement within Syracuse. Co-working also enables the sharing of resources and expenses that benefits the bottom line of the workers involved. Individual desks are located in a shared room, with shared office equipment such as a printer and supplies provided by the Alchemical Nursery. Workers also have access to a conference room for meeting clients or holding meetings, a community kitchen and bathroom, and common space within the Gear Factory for stretching their legs and participating in the wider community. The space will be open to "Associates" 24/7, with free wireless Internet also included. There will also be opportunities to take part in numerous social and networking events through The Gear Factory and The Alchemical Nursery. Thanks to support from the Gifford Foundation in Syracuse and its mission "to build the capacity of individuals and organizations to enhance the quality of life for the people of Central New York", free desk space and office use will be available to social entrepreneurs for up to ten months beginning July 1st. To be eligible, co-workers must be involved in social entrepreneurial endeavors, and be interested in working within a shared office space environment. Use of the space is valued at $250 per month to the "Associate", costs covered by The Alchemical Nursery. Value of the cooperative Co- Working aspects of the space are priceless.
