Become a Workshop Instructor
Do you have a skill, hobby, trade, profession, or passion you’d love to share with homeschool families? We invite parents, educators, artisans, local professionals, business owners, and community members to become workshop instructors and help create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for children.
Whether you’re teaching painting, robotics, gardening, woodworking, financial literacy, cooking, photography, nature studies, music, or practical life skills, we believe everyone has something valuable to share.
All Instructors are self-employed, independent contractors; therefore, they set the parameters and fees for their workshops. H.O.M.E. doesn’t hire teachers; rather, it provides a space for instructors to share their skills and talents.
