Coyote Club @ Elsewhere

A Cooperative Homeschool & Youth Learning Collective

~ Interweaving Elsewhere Artists in Residents who come to connect with the communities youth, and local artists and mentors in the community.

The Coyote Club begins as a cooperative homeschool club and after-school club designed to support families seeking rich, creative, real-world education rooted in art, ecology, culture, and entrepreneurship.

This is an 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
  

As the Coyote Club grows, it expands into a full catalogue of community education, open to adults, teens, visiting creatives, and local entrepreneurs.
