Providing Resources for Parent Educators & Students
Raising Up Generations that Will Make Passionate Impact
At BHCFL, we connect families, build relationships, provide learning opportunities, and grow strong leaders.
"I really appreciated this opportunity to take a deep dive into creating a more supportive homeschool environment. It allowed time for self reflection and to gather wisdom from the other participants. It was amazing to have a sense of community and to be transparent with my concerns in a safe space."
I have noticed members of this organization participating in community service a few times now and I’d just like to commend them on their attention to detail and how they incorporate the children in the service. Everyone has a role and is helping in their own capacity. The kids seem eager to help and worked well together. Great work all around!
BHCF is an amazing organization! I run an umbrella school for home educators and have had the pleasure of participating in a few BHCF events. Each time I am in awe of the variety of activities this all-volunteer group of parents puts together for home educators in their area. Check out their website and see the help available to new home educators as well as their annual events and field trips galore. These parents are a terrific asset to their community and work hard to make home educating a joy for their member families.
