What makes Roots and Wings a homeschool cooperative (co-op)?
In any homeschool co-op, the parents volunteer their time to make things run. We require one parent or caregiver to serve 6 - 50 minute sessions out of the 12 week semester. Each family will have an opportunity to chose the position(s). If you signed up to volunteer and cannot make it for any reason, it is YOUR responsibility to find a sub.
