Become a Co-Worker

Co-working is an innovative alternative to working in a coffee shop or in isolation at home. In addition to shared event and meeting space, 10 Carden members have access to full-time or part-time co-working desks. Co-working can enable you to reduce costs, while working in a multi-sectoral, collaborative and dynamic environment.

10 Carden is planning to grow from the current space we have so that we can provide more co-working opportunities.

Start co-working at 10 Carden from as little as $75/month.

Working for 10 Carden is so much fun. Coming into a space that has a bunch of interesting folks working on various different projects, who are always excited to share what they are currently passionate about makes for an inspiring and creative work environment.

As a consultant who works independently much of the time, I love that I can come to 10 Carden and work in a social space with co-workers from other interesting fields and organizations. My social circle has expanded as the co-working group at 10 Carden has expanded! Getting to know the staff, tenants, volunteers, board members, and users of the space at 10 Carden has increased my knowledge of the different types of organizations, initiatives and events in this city. I feel more in touch, more ‘in the know’, and more connected to my community because I am meeting people here that I would not have had the opportunity to meet if I were working from home.
