How do I find homeschool co-ops in my area?
The best way to find out about local co-ops is to ask on our Yahoo Group. Homeschool co-ops vary widely in the way they operate. They also tend to vary from year to year. If you are looking for a co-op near you, send a message to the Yahoo Group with the subject line clearly marked. You may find that co-ops tend to add new families only at the beginning of the year and sometimes at the mid-year break. You will find that the fees involved and parent involvement will vary widely as well. If you decide that you want to form your own co-op, ECHO can help you get started. Once you have a few families who agree on a general plan for a co-op, just let us know and we will meet with you to help you get your co-op off to a great start!
