About Us
Q: |
Who are we?
|
A: |
Christian Home Educators of Clark County (CHECC) is a homeschool cooperative group that focuses on interest based classes, meaning we try to nurture the appeal of our kids. We meet twice a month, September through April, with occasional events such as field trips, a talent show, craft fair, or family get togethers. We are an eclectic group that wants to support and encourage you on your homeschool journey, no matter where you are in the process. Our classes are dependent on our parent volunteers! We know how intimidating stepping up to teach a group of kids can be and there are plenty of service options as you are getting connected. Each class has at least one parent helper. Our priority is fellowship and community with families who share the same beliefs. |

Q: |
What if I don't feel comfortable teaching? |
A: |
We understand your hesitancy! If you are a first time member, you are welcome to explore the different volunteer opportunities in our group while observing our groups methods. We do require some positions to be filled throughout the year, which are rotated among families and will be prearranged if you do not personally sign up for the needed volunteer positions such as recess monitor and cleaning duties at the end of our group time. We roatate families so that you would only be responsible for those duties 2 - 3 times for the year, depending on our group size. We also need parent helpers in some of the classes. If you don't make a request, we will assign you to a class that your child is in. Remember we are a completely parent-volunteer oriented cooperative group! |
