The mission of Public School Exit is to facilitate an exodus of American children and families from government-controlled education by educating the public and helping families. We are more than an organization, we are a movement.

Education Impact is a coalition of education leaders, family values organizations, parent groups, and people of faith, who are focused on bringing our education system back to godly values.   We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential and be given options to do so.   We inform and empower parents, teachers, community, and faith leaders to seize the current opportunities to bring about positive change in education.  Videos of our Education Impact Townhalls, Workshops, and additional resources are at EducationImpact.usEducation Impact El Dorado County - YouTube Channel; Educationimpactedc.blogspot.com

MomPossible Mentoring by HSLDA brings moms together to give and get support through one of life’s toughest challenges: schooling at home.

We aim to create a safe space to mentor with heart--asking moms with tried and true homeschooling wisdom to connect and share with those of us who might be struggling to make schooling at homework.

Schooling at home is possible! It can even be freeing and fun in ways we never imagined.

Find a mom like you today. Give and get wisdom with the support to move forward confidently!


El Dorado Homeschoolers Network Resource Center

https://www.facebook.com/groups/360517857351491/about

Welcome to the El Dorado Homeschoolers Network. This group is designed to be a resource for local homeschooling families living in and around El Dorado County, California. There are no fees, meetings, or required time commitments. This is simply a place where homeschoolers can swap resources and ideas. We ask that posts are limited to the topic of homeschooling and/or parenting and must be non-judgmental and uplifting to all members of the group. There should not be any posts related to political agendas unless it pertains to homeschooling or an educational opportunity for homeschoolers. Also, please do not promote one style of homeschooling as better than another. We each have to do what's best for our families without judgment from those around us. This group is meant to be a safe place to share homeschool-related information such as educational events, requests for info on resources or curriculum options, and sharing supplies that you no longer need and would like to bless another family with.


Homeschool Families of Sac/Placer/El Dorado  https://www.facebook.com/groups/577505859833009/

Our group is a resource for Homeschooling families in the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado Counties to be able to share ideas, ask questions and make connections with other homeschool families. We are a welcoming inclusive community and therefore we ask all posts to be positive and kind.
