Last month I shared five reasons to consider starting or joining a homeschool co-op. This month, I’m sharing five steps to start a homeschool co-op based on my experience this past school year launching and managing a girls’ book club with a handful of moms and daughters from our local homeschool group.
Whatever the form, homeschool co-ops are very useful for enriching your homeschool plans with additional academic and social learning opportunities. I’ve enjoyed being a part of organized co-ops, and I never intended to start a homeschool co-op myself. However, as I’ve shared in the past, I felt like something was missing from our enrichment activities, and the girls’ book club filled that gap for us.
Join me at Welcome to the Family Table, where you will find my complete post on those details: Five Steps to Start a Homeschool Co-Op. Based on my experience, I share the steps I took to take our girls’ book club from an idea into a reality. Our book club co-op has been a blessing in so many ways for my three daughters and our homeschooling mission. I believe that when God is calling families to come together for His purposes, He truly makes provision for all the details.
Here’s a look back at our journey with the girls book club this past year:
Great article.
The hardest part is to decide if you are going jump into homeschooling and commit yourself to be a big part of your child’s education. But once you see the advantages and benefits homeschooling brings, it’ll be all worth the time and effort.

Definitely worth the time and effort in my book, Anne! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I’d love it if the article were still available to read/the link was still active.
Hi Jessica!
Thanks for pointing out that the link was no longer working. Managing Your Blessings was merged into a new site and some of the links didn’t transfer over. Here’s the correct link (and it’s now updated in the post): https://welcometothefamilytable.com/start-a-homeschool-co-op-2/. I apologize for the technical snag!
In His Service,
