Our Class Schedule
Founded by Danielle Liguori, Misfit Mash-Op was born from a desire to offer high-quality educational opportunities at a price that families can afford. Observing the high costs of traditional co-ops, Danielle committed to creating a space where learning is accessible to everyone. Our secular organization hosts classes in public spaces, allowing children to learn and play, while parents only pay for the classes they need. We are proud to offer volunteer opportunities for teenagers, fostering a sense of community and responsibility.

Drop-In Classes
Offer Lunch Time Drop-In Classes
At Misfit Mash-Op, we welcome spontaneous creativity through our drop-in classes — fun, flexible sessions led by parents or teens! These one-time or occasionally recurring classes are a great way to share a passion, try out a new idea, or offer something timely and unique without committing to a full 10-week semester. Whether it’s a hands-on craft, a themed science demo, a pop-up book club, or a backyard game hour, drop-in classes add variety and surprise to our co-op days. They’re perfect for those who want to contribute in a low-pressure, high-impact way — and a fantastic platform for teens looking to lead and connect.
