You get paid to coordinate hours as currency, with a simple ledger. Memberships or hours are priced so the coordinator is not unpaid labor.
This is cooperative infrastructure. You run hours as currency, with a simple ledger. Members pay dues, hourly rental, or a coordinator stipend. Unpaid coordination is how these projects die. A normal week is bookings, a ledger, one email that actually goes out, and a deputy so you can take a week off. Pick a legal form and a decision rule before conflict arrives. Income may be modest; it is still a job.
A calendar and liability awareness. First paid hours often 1–4 weeks for companionship and coordination; licensed roles take longer (BLS personal care / SCORE).
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
A space or a digital hall
Hall or digital-room workbook
A booking workbook for a community hall or a Zoom room: capacity, fees, and a run-of-show. Planning files, not a venue lease.
A ledger
Buying-capital ledger
Buying-capital ledger. A ledger for thrift and resale float: what you bought, what you can still spend, what must sell first. This is a tracker, not the cash itself.
Bylaws
Bylaws template and filing help
Co-op or club bylaws templates plus a filing checklist. Documents and intake, not a law firm.
Insurance
Liability insurance intake
An intake packet and a broker handoff for basic liability. This is filing help, not a bound insurance policy.

No closely matched public example yet. Treat any lead you find as something to verify, not a directory listing.
