ICA Group

ICA Group aims to expand economic opportunity and self-determination by supporting initiatives that empower workers, build community assets, and root capital locally through employee ownership.  Since its founding in Boston in the late 1970s by a group eager to replicate Mondragon’s cooperative model, ICA has helped start more than 30 cooperatives and social enterprises and convert dozens of companies to worker ownership, saving or creating over 10,000 jobs.  In 2007, ICA formed the Alternative Staffing Alliance, a network of over 50 social-purpose staffing agencies that now connect over 30,000 people with barriers to employment to job opportunities and supportive services on an annual basis.
