______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you for submitting an application for the Choice Program! I'm really excited that you are willing to invite us to walk alongside you and your family on your homeschooling journey and to help us design programming that is the most beneficial to our families.  


The Choice Program offers whole-family support for Black homeschooling families looking to leverage their ability to sustain their home schools. Unlike other homeschool support programs, our families choose which resources are best for their home school. We provide a mentor who supports home educators in identifying and obtaining resources. Through financial and network support, we provide access to resources, communities, programming and learning experiences that are customized to each family’s needs. In turn, home educators and students partner with us to co-design and enhance our programming.

Please review the Eligibility Requirements and the Participation Agreement below to determine if the support we offer will serve your family's needs before filling out this application.  

Covid-19 Info: Currently, all activities are scheduled to be held online via Zoom. We will continue to monitor state and local restrictions and CDC guidelines to determine any possible future in-person activities.

**Application is open from January 10-February 1st, 2022**
