2024 Homeschool Day at the Capitol
Schedule Coming Soon
Make this day work for your entire family.
Come in the morning. Join us in the afternoon. Pack lunches and make a day of it.
Education. Advocacy. Civics.
It’s our desire that EVERY legislator meets a homeschool family from their district during our event. It sends a powerful message to know that homeschool rights are important enough to take time out of your very busy schedule to come to the Statehouse. Contact your legislator prior to the event to schedule a time to meet with them.
