Rising Roots Secular Homeschool Cooperative

Rising Roots seeks to create a safe, supportive, and open space for homeschool families of all backgrounds. We are committed to the principles of inclusion while honoring the great need for support through the singular experience of homeschooling our children. Rising Roots is expressly open to and welcoming of individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin or genetic information. In this Co-Op we believe that Black Lives Matter and that LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. We pledge to see and honor each other’s differences while taking the time to learn the world outside of our own, realizing that the experiences of others are valid and real. Rising Roots was created in 2021 by Jenn Terfinko-Barnett and Chelsea Grimmett when we saw the need for a secular homeschool co-op in the Lehigh Valley. We aim to be a safe place for religious and non-religious families alike. Acknowledgement of the statement of philosophy is required for membership to the Rising Roots Secular Homeschool Cooperative. All members of the Board are required to affirm, in writing, their personal agreement with the Statement of Philosophy. Members of the Educational Team shall not teach in opposition to the Statement of Philosophy.

Myerstown Enrichment Center (MEC) is a Christian homeschool support group that was founded in 1995. We meet each Tuesday from September to May, except for listed holidays. Our eight-member volunteer board coordinates and administers MEC activities. Our mission is to provide educational resources and support for homeschool families. MEC offers traditional parent/member-taught educational classes from first through twelfth grades. Nursery through kindergarten is primarily a babysitting/enrichment service designed to free mothers to help with older students. Our purpose is to work cooperatively in order to teach our children, while offering extra opportunities to help develop student leadership, provide incentives, and showcase student's individual achievements. We also seek to offer assistance to families as they comply with the PA Homeschool Law and to be a source of support to families through educational, personal, and prayer support.
