This also allows legislators and their staff the opportunity to visit with real homeschool families. \nOur Capitol Day volunteers will visit each of the 120 legislators’ Capitol offices\, providing each office with an information packet about private homeschooling. These packets help explain private home education as well as provide research showing that privately home-educated children do very well compared with students from the public schools.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Capitol Day Serves Several Purposes:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Informs\n It informs any newly elected legislators and their staff and reminds the veteran legislators of the benefits of private homeschooling.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Strengthens\n It strengthens our working relationship with them on a professional level.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Point of Contact\n It leaves them with a way to contact us if they ever have any questions about home education.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Educates\n It educates private homeschool families on the inner workings of the legislative process\, trains them in how to advocate for homeschooling freedoms\, and gives them a hands-on learning experience in government as they visit legislators’ offices at the capitol.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thanks to our sponsors\n \n \n \n \n \n We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors for making Capitol Day possible. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n How It Works\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1\n \n \n \n \n \n Application\nWhat are you waiting for?
