You are invited to:  Positioned for Success Homeschool Summit 
July 29, 2023 
The 3rd annual "Positioned for Success" Homeschool Summit is a conference experience that seeks to focus on empowering and educating Black and Brown homeschooling families. We recognize that the attendees at The Homeschool Summit are a unique mix of first-time/first-generation homeschoolers, those curious if homeschooling will be the right fit for their families, as well as seasoned homeschoolers - many of whom plan to graduate their students. We've invited dynamic, highly knowledgeable, and sought-after conference speakers, panelist from across the country to address the topics you care about the most.

This year we are seeking to remove any barriers that will prevent the entire family from joining us, so bring Dad and the kids! In fact, we want to honor our unsung hero's - homeschool Dad's! On Friday night we will highlight homeschool Dads with a Homeschool Dad's panel and gala reception. On Saturday while the parents learn, we will have a full-day fun and engaging kids and teen program with games, crafts, activities, and speakers.

If you're coming into town, you'll want to take advantage of our conference hotel discounted rate, and book by July 7, 2023. You can make a reservation by calling
