Coyote Club @ Elsewhere
A Cooperative Homeschool & Youth Learning Collective
The Coyote Club begins as a cooperative homeschool club designed to support families seeking rich, creative, real-world education rooted in art, ecology, culture, and entrepreneurship.
This is not a drop-off program. It is a parent-supported, artist-led learning cooperative where children learn by doing, making, teaching, and collaborating.
Core Focus Areas:
Creative arts (visual art, writing, music, performance)
Ecological literacy & place-based learning
Storytelling, media, and cultural studies
Practical skills & creative problem-solving
Cooperative leadership and peer collaboration
The Coyote Club creates a bridge between artists in residence and local youth, allowing learning to flow naturally through mentorship, collaboration, and shared projects.
Structure:
Multi-age cohorts
Weekly or seasonal learning blocks
Led by resident artists, visiting educators, and skilled community members
Designed to complement home education, not replace it
