CoWorking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often an office, and independent activity. Unlike in a typical office environment, those coworking are usually not employed by the same organization.
"Coworking is redefining the way we do work. The idea is simple: that independent professionals and those with workplace flexibility work better together than they do alone.
Coworking answers the question that so many face when working from home: “Why isn’t this as fun as I thought it would be?” Beyond just creating better places to work, coworking spaces are built around the idea of community-building and sustainability.
Coworking spaces agree to uphold the values set forth by those who developed the concept in the first place: collaboration, community, sustainability, openness, and accessibility."

Why CoWork? Because working alone stinks! No, but seriously. Working from home is convenient, but it's often lonely and distracting. Working from coffee shops has the benefit of coffee and wifi, but spaces are often cramped, noisy, and expensive.
CoWorking isn't just free wifi and coffee, it's a place that supports collaboration, encourages community, and spurs economic growth through the exchange of ideas and new relationships, all in one convenient space.
