Your Resource. Your Voice. Your Association.
Since 1993, The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (VaHomeschoolers) has been bringing together individuals, families, homeschool organizations, and businesses to promote and protect the interests of Virginia homeschoolers, through legislative work, assistance to individual homeschoolers, and by providing information, speakers, events and resources.
VaHomeschoolers appreciates that homeschoolers are diverse in their beliefs and backgrounds, but united in loving our children, valuing their education, and treasuring our freedom to homeschool. For this reason, VaHomeschoolers is an inclusive organization and is neutral in matters of politics and religion.

In her letter, she pointed out the diversity of political beliefs within the homeschooling community, writing "It would be a refreshing turn, though, to learn more in your pages about the diversity of positions we home-schoolers take, as many of us work to remove partisan political agendas from our conversations about educating children."
