Are your homeschool co-op members happy and thankful? Or maybe they are complaining to you. Can that be changed?
Homeschool mother Becky Abrams started a homeschooling co-op from scratch which included finding people to help her lead the group. She finds her co-op members are thankful to be a part of something. Many want to have a voice and they are invited to help lead.
In today’s podcast Carol Topp interviews homeschool leader Becky Abrams who started and leads a homeschool co-op in Oregon.
In this episode of the HomeschoolCPA podcast Becky explains:
- How she went about finding help
- How her co-op’s board came together
- How to have happy and thankful co-op members!
- How Becky invited new board members to join the leadership team
- How to let co-op members have a voice
My favorite quote from Becky in this episode is “If we’re going to do this…we want to be organized and have a board!”
In the podcast, Carol mentioned the I Am a Homeschool Group Leader Facebook Group. It is a closed group (meaning you have to request to join) of 530 homeschool leaders from across the USA. You can join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/72534255742/
