Can co-op parents pay by bank instead of card?

Yes. Families pay online by card or bank, and can use a payment plan.

Can a co-op require parent volunteer hours?

Yes. Each family's hours count toward its requirement, and families who cannot serve can pay a buyout you set, in the app.

Answers

What software can a homeschool co-op use for class sign-ups, fees and parent volunteer jobs?

Team Scout runs a homeschool co-op's class registration, fees and parent jobs in one app: families sign up for classes and pay online, by card or bank, on a payment plan if they need one. You see who is in each class, who has paid and which parents are serving when.

What it handles

A registration fee per family each semester, then class fees and supply fees, with the full cost shown before a family pays.
Classes with a set number of seats, registered class by class.
Payment plans, fundraising and scholarships, so every family has a way in.
Parent jobs: teaching, assisting, lunch duty and clean-up. Parents sign up, you track the hours, and families who cannot serve can buy out their hours.
One calendar for class days, breaks, field trips and events, on every family's phone.
A group for each class and one for the whole co-op, so news reaches the families it is for.

What it costs

Groups, messaging, the calendar, volunteer sign-ups and a team website are free on the Community plan. Registration and payments start at $29 a month, billed annually, plus a platform fee on what you collect.
