You’re a homeschool parent who wants to prepare your teen for adulthood with confidence and clarity.
You’re tired of piecing together resources and want an all-in-one solution for teaching life skills, career readiness, and college preparation.
Your teen is looking to get connected and make friends with other homeschoolers!
You want your teen to gain essential life skills but don’t have the time or expertise to teach everything yourself.
You’ve tried other programs that didn’t provide the support or comprehensive approach you needed.
You’re ready to invest in a program that not only benefits your teen but also supports you as a parent.
You want your teen to connect and build relationships and connections with other teens.
A Life with Confidence: Imagine your teen confidently navigating adulthood. No more worrying about whether they’re ready — you know they are.
A Stress-Free Homeschool Journey: What if you could let go of the stress of trying to teach every life skill on your own?
Freedom to Focus on What Matters Most: Envision having the freedom to enjoy quality time with your teen, knowing that they’re getting the best education possible.
Clarity and Peace of Mind: Feel the peace that comes with knowing exactly what steps to take next.
A Supportive Community: Imagine feeling fully supported, not just by our resources but by a community of like-minded parents who understand your journey.
If you’ve ever been told that preparing your teen for life requires you to teach every single skill yourself, then let out that breath you’ve been holding. Because there’s a better, simpler way. The truth is, most of us have been led to believe that the only way to ensure our teens are ready for adulthood is to take on the entire burden ourselves — creating lesson plans, teaching every topic, and finding the right resources.
But here’s the reality: without the right systems in place, preparing your teen for adulthood is always going to feel way too hard, frustrating, and overwhelming. And it’s not just about finding the time — it’s about knowing that what you’re doing is effective and comprehensive.
The good news? Preparing your teen for real life isn’t as impossible as it feels right now. You don’t need to struggle with piecing together resources or worry about missing critical skills. What you really need is a proven, all-in-one curriculum that covers everything — from basic life skills to advanced problem-solving — all while giving you the support you need as a parent.
If you’re truly ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start feeling confident in your teen’s future, we have the answer.

Hi, I’m Traci—creator of Adulting University and a passionate advocate for homeschool families. As a homeschool mom and seasoned educator, I know the challenges of preparing teens for adulthood.
With a bachelor’s and master’s degree, and certifications as a financial and career coach, plus over 12 years of experience working with youth, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be to cover all the bases alone.
That’s why I created Adulting University’s Virtual Co-op—a one-stop, affordable resource offering life skills, career readiness, and community for teens and their families. This program is designed to not only provide essential education but also the support and guidance parents need.
My mission is to help teens and their families navigate the path to adulthood with confidence and ease. With expert support, interactive courses, and mentorship, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—so you don’t have to go through the trial and error I did.
Our virtual co-op is an online community where homeschool teens participate in a mix of self-paced and live-taught courses, student clubs, and group activities. It’s designed to foster connection, collaboration, and learning while providing support for both teens and parents.
We offer three membership tiers based on your teen’s grade level:
Get Connected (7th–8th): Community, clubs, and meetups.
Skill Builder (9th–10th): Digital courses, career exploration, and support.
Ready to Launch (11th–12th): Full access to live courses, mentorship, and college/career prep.
Learn more about our different membership levels and what's included above!
Yes! If you have multiple teens, you will be charged based on your oldest child’s tier. Younger students in your household will be able to participate at their age-appropriate tier level. If you have more than 2 teens, let us know in the enrollment call and we'll discuss our special bulk family option!
9th–12th Grade: Career Exploration.
10th–12th Grade: Adulting 101, Entrepreneurship, Personal Finance.
11th–12th Grade: Career Readiness, College Made Easy.
Our mentorship program pairs your teen with a vetted industry expert for guidance during the final six months of the year. This is only available to our 11th & 12th graders.
Our guidance counselor is available for personalized planning and goal-setting throughout the year. The level of support varies by membership level. Please see above for more information!
Students take intake assessments (DiSC, Myers-Briggs, CliftonStrengths) to help us understand their communication style and interests. This information is used to match them with similar peers for projects in their first semester, and with students of different styles in their second semester for varied collaboration experiences.
The time commitment varies by tier. Younger students focus on clubs and meetups, while older students (9th–12th) may spend 3–10 hours a week on courses, meetups, and projects, depending on their tier.
Parents in all levels get bi-weekly support group meetings and our monthly Q&A with experts in a variety of industries to help parents. Parents with high school age students also get access to our digital resource library, and guidance through our Parent Success Series. You’ll also receive updates on your teen’s progress and personalized support within their courses.
How are student clubs organized and run?
Clubs like Book Club, Bible Study, and AU Ambassadors meet regularly in a virtual setting. Students can participate in club discussions, leadership roles, and projects, fostering connection and collaboration.
Live courses are taught in a hybrid learning model. Students will have pre-recorded lectures and/or mini-trainings to do ahead of the real-time course taught by our instructor. The live taught course and is all about implementing what they learned, so expect interactive and hands-on sessions.
Self-paced courses can be completed at your teen's convenience, giving them more flexibility.
Our co-op is inclusive of all families regardless of religious beliefs, race, gender, etc. We do offer a completely optional Bible study for students who wish to participate, but it is not mandatory.
Once the program begins, we do not offer refunds. We encourage families to carefully review all program details and schedule a pre-enrollment consultation to ensure the co-op is a good fit for your teen.
