Your support matters

Make a Donation

This cooperative works because we are able to pull our collective dollars together. We have families with one child and some with five children. To be accessible to all our families, we share all costs, one set of fees. Even so, this can be a hardship for some. We welcome donations to help offset the costs for our families. We welcome donations to be able to fund guest speakers, workshops and give the children access to quality programming. We thank you in advance for your generosity.

Our Mission

We provide a support system for families who home educate, based on liberation and cultural studies of the African Diaspora and Indigenous peoples of color.

Cultural Roots believes when children are provided opportunities to learn about their own cultures they are able to develop an appreciation for humanity, and, with increased exposure, learn that differences equate with normalcy and pride.

OVER 100 FAMILIES Impacted

Our impact on families has stretched well beyond the classes we offer directly to co-op members. On several occasions we have opened our events to members of the greater community so they may have access to some of the invaluable resources we have found. We are continuously expanding this kind of outreach with new events and a diverse, curated bookstore.
