We would like to encourage each member family to volunteer time, talents or experience in order to make our co-op the best it can be for everyone. This homeschool group is run by volunteers only. Also, by volunteering you get to know more members and it is really rewarding. We do not require that each family volunteer, especially first year homeschoolers or families with infants. Please take a few moments to review the following list, selecting any areas you would like to serve from the list of teams that still have openings (you may select more than one). You will be trained in each area and have a mentor, so do not worry that you will not be able to do it or have to do it alone without help/coaching or in some cases it is a team effort.

You will be contacted by your Team Leader to coordinate your participation (see detailed descriptions below).

Please select as many as you have an interest in (it is okay if you change your mind after).
