The Christian Home Educators Fellowship (CHEF) of Louisiana is a Christian organization comprised of Christian home school support groups from around the state. This gives CHEF of Louisiana an effective membership of hundreds of families without competing with local support groups for memberships. The unique relationship CHEF of Louisiana has with local support groups offers each home school family the comprehensive, unified and affordable support it needs at local and state levels.

 

 

CHEF of Louisiana's Purpose

1) Provide timely national and state news. State organizations have become the point-of-contact for most national home education service organizations, such as the National Center for Home Education and the Home School Legal Defense Association. These organizations depend on the state organizations to inform families in their states of legislation, court cases, and other events that influence the future of home education.

On the state level, CHEF of Louisiana maintains a watchful eye on the state legislature, state agencies and the news media.

2) Assist in the formation of new home education suport groups and provide a network of communication between the groups.

3) Direct new families to a group in their area and inform them of the current home study law.

4) Support home education research to reinforce to the community that home schooling is a viable method of education.

5) Provide training for support group leaders to strengthen local support groups.

6) Educate the public about home education and thus improve acceptance in the community.

7) Sponsor the Annual CHEF of Louisiana State Convention and Book Fair.

8) Watch for unfavorable legislation and initiate favorable legislation

9) Provide a state newsletter with current Louisiana home education news.
