The Homeschool Room
For our homeschooled students aged 12 & up: We would love to be able to provide a service to our families who homeschool and would like to attend PWOC. If you are interested, we need a small team of moms who are willing to get a military-issued background check to serve alongside a generous volunteer who has already stepped forward to serve weekly. With a team of 4 moms, each mom would only serve about once per month during PWOC. If you can help, please contact us at the email below!
