WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER!
We are excited to share with you some upcoming events we will have available for group leaders to attend! The goal for these events is to help encourage, equip and support you in the roles you have in leading your groups. I hope you are able to make it to both of the events. Continue reading for more details! 
This year CHSRC is partnering with AFHE to provide leaders with opportunities for leadership training, encouragement, and networking.

We are inviting you to attend this first event on November 9th to give us an opportunity to meet you, help you learn about our organizations, and, above all, give you time to share about the needs you have in your groups. We want to learn about the challenges you may be facing, etc. Please bring any inquiries, recommendations, or needs you perceive in your community to share with us.

We will be using the information you share to help us shape the topics and structure of the upcoming Leadership Conference in February 2023 (more details below).
You are invited to attend our Annual Leadership Conference in February. This event is a day of training, encouragement, and networking for Arizona homeschool group leaders. We will be sending out a registration form in the near future. Please share this information with any leaders or key volunteers in your group. The day will include sessions from special speakers, lunch, discussion sessions, etc.

There is a fee for attending this February event and a discount per person if your spouse is attending with you. If you have a large group of leaders attending, AFHE can offer a discount to your group. More details about pricing will be available when registration is opened. To give you an idea, the cost has ranged from $30-$50 in the past depending on expenses. AFHE has tried to offer the event with minimal expense to leaders as our way to give back to you. The organization doesn't make money off the event. Our goal is to serve and bless you for the day.

CHSRC is excited to partner with AFHE for this event. We hope you can join us!

HOW DO WE DO IT?
The mission of CHSRC is to encourage and equip families for a successful homeschool journey. How do we accomplish this?

By providing families with how-to-get-started information, personalized consultations, and general homeschooling information in our brand-new, spacious bookstore.

Our expertise is in assisting families in finding the ideal educational resources for their households.

We welcome your gifts of new and used textbooks and offer a local resource center where homeschool families can find and buy the books they require at significant savings. It's a win-win situation!

We thank you if you have chosen to donate to CHSRC in the past and encourage your continued support.
