Dirigo HOME

Dirigo means "I Lead!"

The purpose of Dirigo HOME is to further the goals of HOME's Vision for the Future by empowering individuals and families to lead the way within the HOME community. Dirigo HOME seeks to 1) impart a knowledge of our Maine history and government, 2) build community, as well as 3) develop and sharpen leadership skills through events, activities, classes, field trips and mentoring opportunities.

DURING THE HOME CONVENTION

 

For Teens...

Each year during the Annual HOME Convention, teens are encouraged to participate in fun-filled, action packed workshop sessions designed with their unique needs and interests in mind. Topics vary from year to year, and may include health, safety, relationships, character, careers, government and civics, just to name a few! 

 

For Leaders...

Members of the HOME Group Leaders' Community receive a free HOME Convention pass including a special session just for group leaders!

 

DINNER OR DESSERT WITH FRIENDS

   

Homeschool families are busy with many responsibilities. To keep our homeschool community vibrant, however, we all need time to connect, share ideas and socialize. Opportunities are scheduled in different parts of the state throughout the year to bring homeschool families and leaders together, share HOME with others and broaden our reach through community. Please consider hosting a gathering in your area. We would love to get acquainted with you, your group and others in your part of the state! Contact the HOME Office for more information.
