Special Group Thrive! Conference Registration Offerings

Parents of Preschoolers
Individuals or married couples who have never registered for the NCHE conference and whose oldest child is under the age of 5 may qualify for NCHE’s special Parents of Preschoolers offer in which the registration fee of the individual/married couple is waived. This special offer is for full conference access. To qualify for this free admission–An individual or married couple who has never registered for the NCHE conference and whose oldest child is under the age of 5 (cannot turn 5 anytime before January 1, 2025) may attend the conference for free. (If they bring their children ages 2-4 years, they will pay for the children.) This offer only applies until preregistration ends.

Homeschool Alumni
This Thrive! Conference registration is for those who have graduated from homeschool (and are not yet parents themselves). We love having you with us! If you volunteer to serve at the conference, you can attend for free. First, you fill out the registration form or have your parents add you to their form. You will pay $20 for all three days and $10 for Thursday only or Saturday only, and if you serve at the conference (2 hours per day that you attend or 6 hours for the entire weekend), you will be reimbursed your registration fee. We really need your help. Start here to volunteer.

Grandparents
NCHE invites grandparents to attend the conference for free with their homeschooling adult children. If you are a grandparent, and you are not also homeschooling, you can come to the conference for free.
