LOCAL MENTORS
REGIONAL
REPRESENTATIVES
AND
SPECIAL NEEDS
ADVISORS
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 connections
between area homeschoolers. Our Special Needs Advisors are an extension of this teamand are available
to help Homeschool Iowa members navigate the waters of special needs homeschooling.
ONLINE
RESOURCES
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
offers encouragement, provides videos, and moderates online groups.
Since 1992, Homeschool Iowa has been serving the
homeschooling community in Iowa, working to equip
and encourage homeschoolers while also protecting our
homeschool freedoms and promoting home education.
Just a few ways we serve:
LEGISLATIVE
REPRESENTATION
AND UPDATES
Don’t have time to keep up with all of the updates from the state and federal legislative branches of
government regarding homeschool law, our freedoms, and parental rights? We’ve got you covered! Our
Homeschool Iowa Lobbyist and Advocacy Team are boots-on-the-ground at the Capitol, developing re-
lationships 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

STATEWIDE
EVENTS
Homeschoolers enjoy face-to-face socialization opportunities, so we work hard to bring live, in-person
events every year. Plans are already well underway for our Capitol Day in March, our Graduation in
May, and our Conference in June. Our Regional Representatives continue to present Homeschooling
101 events around the state to help those interested in starting their homeschool journeys. We teamed
with other groups to host a nationally-known homeschool speaker in October and two teen events in
November.
