WORKSHOPS

From Anxiety to Trust: Walking by Faith in Your Homeschool

Discover practical strategies and Scripture to help you move from anxiety to trust in your homeschool journey. We’ll talk honestly about common fears—like feeling like you’re failing, navigating hormonal stress, and even biochemical anxiety—while learning how to rest in God’s peace and move forward with confidence in your homeschooling decisions.

NCAA Eligibility for Homeschooled Athletes

Do you want to play sports in college but aren’t sure whether homeschoolers can? Let’s discuss the NCAA eligibility process and the Homeschool Toolkit so you can navigate this process successfully.

Black Outreach Reception
Thursday, June 4 at 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Join us on Thursday at the convention for a lively discussion on the freedoms and differences we find in our homeschool journeys. This reception will be a fantastic opportunity to build meaningful connections with other families. Through shared experiences and engaging conversations, we will explore different aspects of homeschooling.

It is our hope that you will come away inspired and confident in your homeschool decision with deeper connections and a sense of community. Embrace your journey as you work towards building a legacy of academic excellence. The HEAV black outreach team will also serve you with resources and support opportunities for your family.
