"How do I sign up?"

Homeschool group leaders are responsible for registering their homeschool groups with CHALC. Individuals receive their CHALC membership through a CHALC homeschool group.

If you would like your homeschool group to become a member of CHALC, you must submit an application for membership.  The application is a download pdf form located in the left hand menu.  Download, print and fill out this form and mail it to the address below.

To guarantee that your homeschool group members receive all 10 issues of The Scrawls we must have their address information by June 15.  If you do not have a complete list of members by that time, submit what you have and as you receive new members into your homeschool group, simply email their names, email and address information to mail@chalc.org.  Then mail the membership fees to CHALC, PO Box 480, Leola, PA  17540. 

CHALC homeschool group membership fees for the 2020/21 school year are $25 per family.  A new CHALC database is compiled every year.

Your homeschool group must submit a new application every year, if we don't receive your application/membership list/membership fee your homeschool group will no longer be considered a CHALC member homeschool group and will be removed from the homeschool group listing in the back of The Scrawls.

There are no refunds or credits for families that are removed from your group's membership list.
