Why Should You Become a Member of the Michigan Christian Homeschool Network?
Membership in MICHN, the Michigan Christian Homeschool Network, provides you with important information you need for educating your children at home in the state of Michigan and connects you with the home school community statewide.
In addition, your membership support allows MICHN to watch legislation that may affect parents’ rights to teach their children at home in Michigan.
Ten important things your membership enables MICHN to do:
- Provide an annual convention for families to be encouraged and equipped in the hard work of home discipleship.
- Provide a website for connecting and communicating with other home educators in our state.
- Provide online opportunities for asking questions and receiving answers from fellow disciples on topics that concern you.
- Serve as an effective liaison between the homeschooling community and numerous state agencies and organizations across Michigan.
- Build bridges between homeschoolers and lawmakers, policymakers, and educators.
- Keep families informed about homeschooling law and policy developments across the state, through the INCH email list.
- Help Michigan homeschoolers network and find the resources, support, and information they need.
- Provide referrals to local support groups for new home educators.
- Provide encouragement, training, and networking for homeschool leaders.
- Network with and learn from homeschool leaders across the nation through the Alliance of Christian Home Education Leaders.
Protecting and Promoting Private Home Education in Michigan, MICHN works in many ways! It is through your association with us that allows us to better support more home school families. We have many member benefits designed especially for you.
BEFORE you join MICHN, might we suggest you first pay the fees required by your local homeschool support group. These are the people closest to you, working hard to provide both opportunity and community for those who have chosen to educate their children home in your local area. [If you need help finding a local homeschool group, go here ]
AFTER you join MICHN, please consider joining HSLDA- the Home School Legal Defense Association. They are the national organization that fights both locally and nationally to preserve our home schooling freedom. They were instrumental in moving Michigan from one of the most restrictive states to one of the best states for discipling our children at home. [Find HSLDA membership info here ]
