Sometimes you just need to talk to someone one-on-one. We know because we’ve been there before

too. We are thankful for our team of Regional Representatives. These veteran homeschooling moms

offer extensive practical skills and wisdom that come from years of experience. Within their regions,

Homeschool Iowa Regional Representatives counsel new home educators, answer questions about

local issues and opportunities, facilitate communications with local homeschool support groups, and

more! One of the most popular things our Regional Representatives are able to do is host Homeschool

101s within their regions to answer questions, explain Iowa’s homeschool laws, and encourage con-

nections between area homeschoolers. Our Special Needs Advisors are an extension of this team and

are available to help Homeschool Iowa members navigate the waters of special needs homeschooling.

Do you have a homeschooling question? We’ve probably answered it on our website! We have sections

about getting started homeschooling, homeschool law, homeschooling through high school, home-

schooling special needs kids, choosing curriculum, understanding learning styles, and SO MUCH MORE!

Our Member Portal is full of even MORE resources! In addition to our website our Social Media team

strives to provide encouragement through daily posts on our social media channels, provides helpful

videos on our YouTube channel, and moderates a handful of private Facebook Groups where you can

come online and get help with your questions from a wide variety of homeschoolers across the state.

with legislators, giving valuable input on educational reforms and proposed homeschool laws, and

keeping us informed through our grassroots advocacy tool, Voter Voice. Sign up to get those FREE up-

Homeschoolers enjoy face-to-face socialization opportunities, so we work hard to bring live, in-person

events to Iowa every year! This year, meeting that goal has been a bit challenging, but we hope to

be back full-force in 2021 with our annual Homeschool Iowa Conference in June. Plans for our annual

Graduation ceremony will be targeted again for May (after hosting a delayed ceremony in August this

year) and we also hope to offer other statewide events, like our Capitol Day in March and another teen

option like the iObject sessions we held last year.) Additionally, we will continue to host local Home-

school 101s across the state.
