At HSLDA, we are proud of our member families and the great work they are doing at home. From time to time, we hear stories of exciting opportunities a homeschool student has undertaken, entrepreneurial homeschool family businesses, community-driven homeschool support groups, and many other wonderful experiences. We love to take the opportunity to celebrate with our families and to share our excitement with our other members. The complete stories are available on our member site, but we have included a taste of the amazing things our members are doing here. Enjoy!
