What kind of legacy are you leaving for your homeschool group? Are you planning for the future? Do you find yourself looking around and wondering who will fill your shoes when God calls you away from your ministry?
When you are in the throes of leadership, trying to manage communication, programming, relationships, conflict, paperwork, and more, it’s easy to overlook or push planning for your departure to the back burner. Whether you have plans to stay in your position for just a few months or another decade, it’s vital to the future of your group that you be raising up the next generation of leaders.
So, how does one do that with all of the other responsibilities we have as leaders?
We invite you to join us this year for CHEA’s “Leaving a Legacy” Conference series. Our knowledgeable and encouraging speakers will explore this theme of raising the next generation of homeschool leaders. Our prayer is that you will become better equipped and encouraged as you lead your homeschool community.

Workshops
Issues Facing California Homeschoolers, Will Estrada
Parental Rights, Homeschool Freedom, and California: In this action-packed and fast-paced presentation, Will discusses the history of parental rights from the dawn of civilization to present day, how homeschooling fits in, and the challenges and battles ahead. Will discusses the legal and legislative battles in California, past, present, and future, as well as what HSLDA has been seeing across the state of California.
Adversity in Leadership: Navigating Trials and Staying the Course, Michelle Becerra
Join me in this workshop as we explore the trials and adventures of leadership, share stories of resilience, and encourage one another to keep moving forward. Together, we can navigate the challenges of leadership and emerge stronger, more faithful, and more united in our mission to support parents who choose Christian homeschooling for their kids. Remember, hard is just hard, not impossible.
Encouragement for the Weary Leader, Jenny Vandever
Like changing seasons, leadership has its own cycles of growth, challenges, and rest. Knowing how to recognize and embrace these different seasons, and trusting that God works through each, can help us find renewal in times of weariness.
Six Traits for Homeschool Leadership, Zan Tyler
Our nation’s founding fathers and pioneers left us a rich legacy to consider as we teach our children to value and preserve liberty. Zan discusses the lessons we can learn from our history as we determine what type of legacy we need to leave for those who follow us. Topics include six traits of servant leaders, what it takes to fill the leadership gap, and how not to alienate your spouse or children while working to encourage other homeschool families. You’ll learn ways to effectively incorporate your children in your efforts so that your leadership becomes a mission that unites your family rather tearing it apart.
