Running a cooperative is a joint effort. There would be no cooperative, no community, and no shared programs for our children without everyone’s active and consistent participation. Parents are required to supervise their children online, lead study groups, and take on coop-wide roles. While parents do stay busy at Voyagers Coop, there is still plenty of adult social time! We meet online and talk, knit, share interests, and just get to know one another better. Many, many Voyagers parents have developed and continue to develop deep, lasting friendships with one another.

Coop families work together to create programs that satisfy the interests of the community. Programming is dynamic and changes each Coop session as families develop new topics to meet the changing interests of our members. Study groups are usually led by members, although families sometimes decide to bring in an outside instructor for an additional fee. Tweens and teens are even encouraged to help lead study groups if they are interested. Participation in study groups is based on interest and ability, not age.
