Eddy County Home Educators
Welcome!
We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) homeschool membership group located in Carlsbad, NM, and we include homeschooling families from Eddy County. As a co-operative we share resources, time , and effort to support homeschooling families. Since our founding in 2019, membership fees covered extracurricular class costs, parties, activities, some field trip costs, administrative costs, building fees, reduced-cost art classes, and special events. As a nonprofit group, we can receive grant money, and some special benefits from other organizations. This semester, in order to promote broader homeschool community involvement, we have waived membership. Planning ahead for next semester, we are looking to connect with those who want to participate, organize, or lead extracurricular classes and continued social opportunities for homeschool families. Please call 575-302-0009 or email board@echenp.org if you have any questions.
Membership benefits include:
15% off HSLDA ( Home School Legal Defense Association) membership and one free HSLDA membership given away per year
Planned field trips, mom nights, and play days
Group rate discounts/free tickets on some field trips and entrance fees
Group and teamwork opportunities for kids
Being a 501(c)(3) makes it possible to receive grant money for educational products such as science and robotic kits
Leadership development for group members, and current and future board members
Discounted price for art classes for kids
Enrichment of your home curriculum with extracurricular experiences
Rub elbows with other awesome parents educating their children
If you are already a member, this site will also be the home to the Policies and Code of Conduct that we expect our group to follow. This website has links to pay for registration fees, class fees, and required forms.
