Changing the Way the World Sees Homeschooling
The National Home Education Network exists to encourage and facilitate the vital grassroots work of state and local homeschooling groups and individuals by providing information, fostering networking and promoting public relations on a national level. Because we believe there is strength in a diverse network of homeschoolers, we support the freedom of all individual families to choose home education and to direct such education.
Since its founding in 1999, NHEN, an all-volunteer organization connecting homeschoolers nationwide, has evolved into a respected source of information for the homeschooling community as well as the general public. Our award-winning website contains a wealth of first-hand information about homeschooling, written from a variety of viewpoints. In keeping with our mission statement, NHEN espouses no one particular political agenda or homeschooling philosophy. Instead, we know that homeschooling parents can read all of the material and determine for themselves what is best for their family.
In response to media requests, we help reporters find accurate, balanced information about homeschooling and put them in touch with NHEN members who have previously indicated a willingness to be interviewed. Information and interviews provided by NHEN contacts have appeared in articles in Time, on National Public Radio, and other national, state, and local media.
All homeschoolers are invited to participate in our network. NHEN membership is free. By joining NHEN you will add your voice to those of thousands of other homeschoolers who have approved our mission statement. The more homeschoolers connect through our network, the better we will be able to help each other in our joint efforts to improve the climate for homeschooling in this country; numbers matter to legislators and the media.
By joining NHEN you also send a message of appreciation to the dedicated volunteers who answer questions, provide extensive website information, work on the newsletters and email list forums - free of charge for all.
NHEN operates only through volunteer contributions.Once you've joined,be sure to read the NHENotes and find out how you could volunteer your time. NHEN Logo Items are also available for sale. And, as a 501C3 nonprofit organization, NHEN is happy to receive a donation of any size.
Join us and help change the way the world sees homeschooling!
