Join Footsteps for the 2021-2022 school year!
We are a Christian, Member-run homeschool support group in South West Raleigh/Cary/Apex. We provide encouragement and support for our members through fellowship, prayer, and assistance. Our activities include field trips, park days, extra-curricular functions and moms' meetings. Membership is not capped. We are open to preschool through high school homeschooling.
We are so grateful to each member who joins and helps to plan events. As a field trip group, we want this to be a fun and educational community! When registering you will be required to sign up to host or help with one event (virtual or in person, making sure to follow state rules and local ordinances). The more active each member is, the better our group will be.

****Notes****
-- Our goal is to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for all of our members. As our group continues to grow and we are easing out of the pandemic, we are anticipating many more opportunities and activities. In light of the increased connections and gatherings, and in order to protect all of our families, we will be purchasing general liability insurance. Having insurance will help to protect our members and our group. In order to afford insurance, our dues will be increased this year to $35 per family for the entire school year. 100% of the dues go to improve and enrich our group through insurance and events. We’re excited to be in this together and are looking forward to an active, vibrant, and supportive community!
-- We understand some families are in a difficult place financially, particularly after a tough pandemic year. We will have options on the registration form for members who would like to contribute to a member scholarship fund, in order to support members who may not be able to afford the dues.
-- The majority of our dues will be going towards insurance, so be on the lookout for some exciting fundraising to support upcoming events (Footsteps T-Shirts on the horizon!)
-- We are a group run by members, so the more active the members, the more active the group will be! On the form you will be asked to sign up for one event/field trip/club, but if you’re inspired to set up something extra - please do!
All members have until September 1st to fill out the form. Anyone who has not completed the form by that date will be removed from the Facebook Group. Anyone is welcome to re-join at any time in the school year.
Looking forward to a great year,
Elizabeth Parise and Evelyn Keating - Co-leaders
Michelle Garrett - Treasurer
Kristi Harvey - Peace Liaison
