Welcome to Lead Your Homeschool Co-op! Do you desire a Christian community with families that fit? Do you find yourself up late at night googling “conflict resolution” and “how to build a community”? Do you dream of a sustainable homeschool group only to feel discouraged when policies fail, logistics get in the way or a conflict comes up again?
Hello! We are the Homeschool Community Builders.Together, we have more than 30 years of experience in leading successful homeschool groups. But at one time, we too were in co-ops that did not work for our families. We needed deep relationships and a community that would help our families grow in faith,
In order to be a part of a sustainable Christian community, we stepped out in faith and trusted God’s plan to build the community that we desired. In this podcast, we will help you create Christ-centered policies, establish a close-knit culture, and develop strong leadership skills so that you can serve your community well.
So grab a pen and paper, be ready to take some notes, and be encouraged. You can do this!
