VaHomeschoolers 2024 [un]Convention will be held Saturday, April 13th, 2025 from 10am to 5pm at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in Richmond, Virginia.

We are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2025 VaHomeschoolers unConvention. We are looking for individuals who can bring a unique perspective and a broad range of topics to our audience. Our goal is to provide our attendees with a diverse and engaging experience, and we are committed to selecting speakers who can help us achieve that goal.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and areas of expertise. Whether you are an experienced public speaker or new to the stage, we encourage you to apply. We believe that everyone has something valuable to share, and we are excited to hear what you have to say.

We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who can speak to topics that are often underrepresented in public discourse. We want to ensure that our audience is exposed to a wide range of perspectives and ideas, and we believe that your unique background and experiences can help us achieve that goal.

This is a one day event with limited space for speakers and workshops. The organizers recognize the importance of representation and strive to ensure that diverse voices are heard. The goal is to provide a platform for a wide range of perspectives and experiences. 

If you are interested in being considered as a speaker, be sure to highlight what makes your perspective unique and why it would be valuable for the audience to hear. And remember, even if you are not chosen this time around, there will be other opportunities to share your voice and make an impact.

Who are we?

The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (VaHomeschoolers) is proud to be Virginia’s only fully inclusive, member-directed, volunteer-driven, nonprofit statewide homeschool organization. Our sole intent is to support homeschoolers. We have no religious or partisan political agenda, and we take no position on non-homeschooling issues.  

In addition to providing our member's services such as a comprehensive website, homeschool Helpline and Helpdesk, social media support with over 11k members, and email Newsletter that reaches nearly 4k people, each year we organize an event that brings together homeschoolers from all around Virginia. Attendees enjoy a slate of sessions featuring speakers and topics embodying a broad spectrum of homeschool philosophies and approaches, as well as an exhibit hall, used resource sale, and chances to socialize with other homeschoolers.

Why Participate in the 2025 Convention?

• The Exhibition Hall is open and accessible by all registered attendees from across the state for the entire day of the event.

• You can share your knowledge and experience with homeschoolers from all over the state of Virginia and from out of state. 

• We offer exhibit tables, print advertising in our conference program, and tote bag insert options at very affordable pricing. Attendees then are able to share any takeaways they receive with their local co-ops and homeschool groups.

• We offer online advertising, with your company URL, on our event-specific web pages and emails. 

Attendees:  

Our attendees are discriminating consumers interested in a variety of high-quality, creative,  hands-on educational materials. They look for unusual items they cannot find in their local teacher supply stores. They expect quality and value from their purchases, as well as resource ideas and in-depth information about the products displayed. Our attendees have large and small families, some beginning their homeschool journey and some long-term, from preschoolers to high school students. A key aspect of the VaHomeschoolers event is the diversity of our population.
