Our Impact

 

Resources

Skoden Coffee is a small coffee and food business that operates within our first CoWork Hub on the Navajo Nation. The owners receive many benefits including: lower capital investment to start a business, reductions in risk, and access to a shared pool of knowledge, expertise, and resources. The coffee shop generates additional revenue for the CoWork Hub, helping to offset operating costs and increasing its overall value proposition.
