Why Work with HEAV?
Do you long to make a difference in the lives of thousands of other homeschoolers? Do you or your children desire the opportunity to utilize skills and gain experience for the “real world”?
At HEAV, you and your children can accomplish all of these things and help the homeschool community in a big way! A lot of the work at HEAV is done by volunteers—busy families just like yours who see a need and get involved! HEAV volunteers are an integral part of making a difference for homeschoolers in our state. Whether you’re interested in helping out right from your own home, at the office, as an intern, or at the convention, we need your help to effectively support homeschoolers and let others know about the wonderful world of homeschooling!
We’ve Made it Easy!
Whether you are interested in helping year round or just once a year for a few hours at convention, you can make a difference at HEAV! Simply fill out a checklist, and someone will contact you with more information. Take some time out of your busy schedule to volunteer with HEAV, and be blessed in the process!

Can you help us pass along information about the convention and HEAV events?

Our Outreach Partner program makes it almost effortless! We’ll send you ready-to-go announcements and information that you can forward along to your church or group, or post in your community. Outreach Partner Volunteer

Our goal at HEAV is to always provide a “live” voice on the phone during normal office hours. With limited staffing and a lot of data-entry and clerical work, we need help to accomplish this goal.
As a way to say, “Thank you” to those volunteers who help us answer the phone or provide basic office support, we have established a new incentive program! For each hour of office volunteer work, you can earn rewards redeemable for HEAV products or event registrations (including convention registration). Families can combine all of their reward points into one account to purchase more expensive products or event registrations. General Volunteer Application
