What: Home Educators Community for Homeschooling and Unschooling Families

Official account: @homeedders

Who: @minismallholding

Where: International

Why: There are several home education families here on Steemit including myself. I am passionate about what I do and have written about it since being on Steemit in 2016. Now there is an actual account for us to mingle and share upon. This account was created to bring us all together to help, support and encourage one another as home educators. There is a need for this support system especially since it is not yet widely excepted and can be challenging at times. We are now able to share tips, give guidance and advice, recommend resources and learning materials as well as programs and learning tools. It is very encouraging hearing the stories of other families and how they have made this type of lifestyle work for their family. It’s encouraging in general to know there are others out there that are passionate about teaching their children at home. When people feel supported and find their niche they are more likely to stick around. I think having this community will help home educating families feel more comfortable and willing to post about their experiences.

How: Currently we are growing our community and getting to know one another in our Discord sever setup by @minismallholding. We are sharing our resources and tools there. We just finished our first Challenge that rewarded Steem to the winners and look forward to doing more. Those accounts that use the homeschooling and unschooling tags have been Upvoted and Resteemed to the account. We encourage members of our discord server to promote their posts there as well.

We all are really excited to have this up and running and look forward to seeing where this goes. Right now, just having the space to chat and mingle has been really amazing!

We are sharing life and helping each other along the way. Having the extra support to grow this community would be totally appreciated!

Thank you ~
