Our volunteer program is super simple — sign up, get trained, have fun, and still stay focused on the resources, training, and encouragement that you are looking for from the conference! No prior experience is needed.

You can choose from five areas to serve, and each area has different requirements and benefits (see each link below for full details). Dads, moms, grandparents, young adults, and empty nest homeschool parents are all welcome and needed.

We would love to have you join our volunteer team! Choose an option below to learn more about each position and sign up now!!
