BENEFITS OF SCH

  • Leadership opportunities for students, such as our newly developed Junior Leadership Board

  • Opportunities to collaborate creatively with the homeschool community

 

COST OF JOINING STEUBEN COUNTY HOMESCHOOLERS

This is a tricky subject for some and we completely understand this.  While we really try to run SCH as a low-cost, bootstrap (budget) group, the reality is that there are some costs associated with SCH.  For example, SCH is currently in the process of becoming a registered non-profit and apply for a 501(c)(3) designation.  While this will help us be able to apply for grants, conduct fundraisers, and get other discounts, it also brings a few costs (as there is a cost for both non-profit registration as well as the 501(c)(3) designation). In addition to this, our website has some very modest costs involved.  Finally, we believe that a modest fee can help to encourage families to collaborate. 

​

As far as a specific amount, the donation for joining SCH should be an amount you feel is appropriate for the value SCH brings to you (but with a minimum of $10/family).

​
