Community Leadership
Every Homeschooling community can use great leaders; people who are willing to step up and make things happen. Having a strong network of other homeschoolers can make a big impact on your family's experience with homeschooling. You will find as you join hands with other homeschool families that there is nothing your family need miss out on as homeschoolers.
