You have a heart to serve and the passion to create a place of shared learning, connection, and community for homeschooling families.
You want your group or co-op to thrive. You want members and participants to value your group and be engaged. You want to use best practices. You want to make sure everything is done right.
If that sounds like you, and you need help, you’re in the right place.
Become Tax Exempt
Do you need to incorporate? Does your group provide education or is it a social group? Should you apply for tax exempt 501(c)3 status? What are the benefits? Are you taking risks?

Managing your thriving group or co op means creating community, engaging volunteers, conflict resolution, strategic planning, communications, and more. Sometimes you need a little help.
Getting Started
You have a vision. You know there’s a need. If you build it, will they come? What’s the best way to get started? How do I find others? Can you improve your chances for success? How can you make it all happen?
