General Information

The Chrysalis Cooperative, home of the BHC’s first solar project, is a consensus-based mostly vegetarian co-op in a large old house with lots of character. Chrysalis is located in downtown Boulder, one block from Pearl Street. Chrysalians live lightly, buy food together, and share dinners, chores, and good times. Chrysalis values affordable living, environmental sustainability, conscious community, and human diversity.

Food

Chrysalis co-op buys mostly organic and as much local food as possible. Chrysalis serves dinner four to five nights per week and all house meals are vegetarian. While not all Chrysalians are vegetarian, meat is not allowed is community meals (but is allowed in the house).

Community Lifestyle

While House members are free to be their own spirit and use their time as they wish, building community through meals and House events is a big aspect of living at Chrysalis. The support and cooperation derived from fellow House members is an incredible benefit of the Chrysalis lifestyle.

 

How to Join

  1. Submit the online application.
  2. Join us for dinner to see the house and mingle.
  3. Print and fill out the income qualification form, required by the city for low-income housing.
  4. Interview at a House meeting.

That’s it! Chrysalis will use a consensus process and follow all fair housing guidelines in filling an open position.

Location

Chrysalis is conveniently located in downtown Boulder at 2127 16th St.

Openings
Several of our current members are moving on one to biology graduate school in the UK, another to a journalism internship in NYC, and a third is returning home to Nevada to be with her family. As a result, we have vacancies for April 1st and June 1st of 2012. Additionally, our leases usually turn over at the beginning of August, and we begin our search for new members each year in the middle of the summer. If you're interested in any of these vacancies, please contact us, and come on over for dinner or brunch to meet the house!
