Stronger Together
- Did you know that homeschooling in Maine has increased by 80% over the last five years and is continuing to grow?
- Did you know that there are close to 11,000 homeschooled students in Maine right now?
- Did you know that HOME serves a great portion of this number in at least one way or another?
Homeschoolers of Maine (HOME) is excited and thankful to be a part of this amazing growth! Homeschoolers that are well-equipped and supported create thriving families and students with a strong sense of self and purpose. Research shows that these students go on to work and engage in their communities in meaningful ways.
HOME welcomes the businesses and organizations (both old and new) that have arisen to serve the many families choosing homeschooling today! Private homeschool enterprise is flourishing in Maine and brings freedom and choice, whereas government funded programs promise control and limitation.
How does HOME help families to succeed?
While all homeschool enterprises have their special niche, the depth of HOME's work and mission spans decades. We have been here for countless numbers of families from the get-go!
With HOME’s 35+ years of experience, transitioning to homeschooling has never been easier. There has also never been a more crucial time to stay the course! HOME helps homeschoolers to succeed every single day...
By providing “Getting Started” workshops and answering the steady flow of daily questions from beginners, as well as veterans.
By providing hours of personal one-on-one time as needed to help families choose resources and curriculum, and offer guidance on teaching strategies, learning styles and assessment methods.
By providing the special topical studies and courses needed to ensure that all the current educational requirements can be met.
By offering ongoing field trips, learning opportunities, and regional leaders to help both children and adults stay connected.
By providing training events to help homeschool families learn and grow as they progress from the earliest levels through high school graduation.
By providing an extensive website where answers to every question and concern can be found and an online connection point for further assistance.
By providing a graduation ceremony for all interested high school seniors.
By keeping families aware and up to date on all potential legislative changes that may affect homeschool freedom.
HOME is here whenever any of these thousands of Maine families need help. To stay here and keep up with demands, HOME needs your help!
If you’re reading this, you have likely already received valuable support from HOME in some way. If you have benefited from HOME’s presence, would you reciprocate? Your support can help to ensure that others receive the same benefits you have.
A simple request...
Would you please support our ability to serve you and others by committing to give “One Dollar a Week,” so that we can continue this vitally important work?
By itself, a dollar isn’t much. But if every family that benefits from HOME gave “One Dollar a Week,” we could fund the HOME budget to support our community for the year.
Also, because we realize that this commitment may not be possible for some families, we encourage those who can give more to do so. Some might feel better equipped to offer “One Dollar a Month.” Be assured that every gift of support is valued and appreciated.
HOME currently depends on the support of a select few, for which we are tremendously grateful. With these limited funds, HOME’s small staff works well beyond their level of appropriate compensation without complaint. Their work is a labor of love.
A more sustainable approach to maintaining our mission to “preserve, protect, and promote homeschooling in Maine” is needed.
Start your “One Dollar a Week” pledge today!
THANK YOU for showing your ongoing commitment to HOME and homeschooling by giving! Please continue to pray for HOME, homeschool families, and all those who are still in the process of making a decision about homeschooling.
God bless you and your family. Please know that we pray for all of you and are grateful to serve you.
Blessings,
