Dina in Oklahoma Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hello ~ Has anyone ever started a coop? If so, how did you go about it, what worked/didn't work, how did you find people to participate ect ??? Thanks, Dina :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I started a Classical Conversations group. (classicalconversations.com) It's much like starting a co-op instead of everyone doing all the work split, everyone pays... and then those who work.... split that money in a certain way/percentage... Here's the catch, there is a harder time getting people to join, if you charge, but it's fair. If you have a co-op it's fair... if everyone pays in some way. So, some can pay.... some can work.... or... you can just help out everyone without getting $$$ and get burned out.... Here's the other part. You need to decide what percentage you want to be academic, what part to be just fun.... If you want to focus on memory work... certain ages... To let people know... you let local hs groups know... Library... grocery store.... signs on your car... etc. If you have hs friends... you ask them to let their friends know... etc. Then, you gather a board, if you choose... to help make "rules" and spread the work.... I would do "Information Meetings" and make sure you are ok with the dynamics of the different families... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
