- HAT - Homeschool Activities for Teens Facebook Page - This is a group of homeschoolers who are 12-years-old & older from the tri-state area of West Virginia, Ohio, & Kentucky (....and their parents!). We meet at least once a month & have the activity mostly between 5 & 9 pm, some events possibly taking less time, of course.
Older young people can certainly come join us!
If parents have younger kids they’d like (or have) to bring along, that would be OK – as long as the parent is in charge & the kids are well-behaved (which I know all of our kids are!).

- Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati - n 2006 we launched the Cincinnati Homeschool Convention. (Which quickly became known as the MidWest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati) It has been an amazing journey, and has also been extremely encouraging to see the convention grow to attract many thousands of homeschooling families from dozens of states!
We believe strongly in the importance of home school support groups and organizations, and encourage homeschool families to find a good one and “plug in.” However, we do not have a direct affiliation with any particular home school group or organization. As such, there is no “membership requirement“ in any particular homeschool organization to attend any of our conventions, or to receive a discounted admission to any of our conventions.
It should be noted, however, that when folks attend a “Great Homeschool Convention” they have the option of activating a FREE first-year membership in Homeschool Legal Advantage, which is a ministry outreach of the Christian Law Association, and which operates completely on a “suggested donation” basis. The Christian Law Association has successfully defended over 8,000 education-related cases in their 43-year history of faithful ministry to churches and families – including homeschooling families.
Great Homeschool Conventions strongly affirms the liberty and freedom of homeschool parents to choose for themselves the curriculum, resources, affiliations and/or memberships that are relevant to their homeschooling efforts, and that are a wise use of their time and money.

by John Taylor Gatto
