Co-op Info
YEAH Co-op is organized and led by parent volunteers. Each and every parent serves an important role and is vital to make things run smoothly. We are excited each year/semester to offer a variety of classes utilizing our parents' talents/passions. We ask that all parents commit to 1 hour of service each week in one of our volunteer roles (teacher, teacher’s assistant, cleaning crew, etc.). Co-op is not a replacement for parents teaching at home. It is meant to enhance or supplement what is being studied at home.
Once you become a member of YEAH, we will send you an email with more information about our co-op and the registration process. Current members of YEAH will receive updates via email when it is time to register for Co-op before the fall and winter semesters.

The facility offers picnic tables and a grassy area for lunch after co-op. This is an optional time for families to have fellowship as weather permits.
Co-op Classes

Volunteer Responsibilities
We are a volunteer run Co-op. Every family must have a parent/guardian volunteer. Most volunteers are engaged in the classroom as a teacher or assistant. First hour classes are 4 weeks long with a total of 3 classes per semester (3 rotations). Second hour classes span the entire 12 weeks. The hour you are not serving, we ask that you stay on the premises. The building will lock at 9 a.m. for safety reasons. You will not be able to re-enter without a director. There will be space available for parents during their free hour. Parents may not enter classes in which they are not volunteering.
Student Responsibilities
We ask that students be respectful to those around them. Co-op follows the code of conduct listed on the YEAH website. Please read the code of conduct with your children. We hope that Co-op will be an environment that lovingly admonishes our brothers and sisters in Christ to become more Christ like and to reflect that likeness in the way that we treat one another. Students will have opportunities to visit with friends, but we ask that they are respectful during class time and announcements, and that they limit talking according to the teacher’s direction.
