Founded in 2006, XENSHA has evolved from typical small-business roots to become an uncommonly diversified cooperative. We provide opportunities for work across a range of industries and support an inclusive economy through local ownership.
Why B Corp?
As a cooperative, XENSHA was already committed to strong social principles when we became aware of the B Corp program. We decided to pursue certification as a means of broadening our commitments and embracing transparent accountability. Our experience to date has been that cooperative and B Corp principles align well and that our goals are best pursued when we emphasize both labels in describing our identity to potential customers and partners.
Overview of Services
XENSHA operates through four wholly-owned subsidiaries that provide tutoring and test preparation (Tutor Ring), business support services (XENSHA Consulting), handyman services (Paint and Patches), and advertising for locally owned shops (Co-Local).
Giving Back
XENSHA is democratically governed by its members, and every worker we hire has a path to membership after completing a probationary period. We emphasize a high quality of life with living wages and the best benefits we can afford, and we promote an inclusive economy through preference for locally owned suppliers and worker empowerment.
