ABOUT US / SOBRE NOSOTROS
OUR HISTORY / NUESTRA HISTORIA
Unidos began as a vision by its founder, Marlha Sanchez, who found herself struggling to find a homeschool community that shared her same passions and focus for her daughters' education. As a long-time community activist, Marlha had many resources and connections to share with others, but no group to share them with. And yet, she had several friends who shared in her frustration to find a place dedicated to uncolonizing education, and equipping children to be compassionate contributors to their communities. And so in 2015 she took those community-organizing skills and formed a homeschool cooperative in her own home.
As a grassroots movement, Unidos thrives in its commitment to adapt to the needs of the group. Now in our third year, we continue to evolve and grow as each year refines the focus and purpose of our cooperative. The group is strengthened by the involvement and commitment of the families that make-up this community. This is the key to our success. This is what makes us more than a school. We are a tribe, relying on each other and carrying each other upward and onward, porque juntos si se puede.
