How it Works
Each project slot will offer 2 or 3 options so that our youth members can follow their interests (see chart below)
Our projects are volunteer-led, and we ask each family to have one approved adult volunteer. Not all volunteers need to lead projects, but we need additional volunteers for supporting leaders and admin and other activities. Help us to Make the Best Better! We appreciate you.

Thursday Projects
Information and Location
Thursday Park Projects will be a new offering for the Homeschool Collective this year! Having a park option will allow for a less restrictive environment for kids needing more movement, and will give us an opportunity to offer projects that are better served with an outdoor location such as sports, nature projects, etc.
We will rotate park locations either monthly or quarterly so that we can use parks that are better fits for certain projects.
