MCC to host first homeschool resource fair May 28

The free event is designed to connect homeschool families with educational opportunities, resources and support services available throughout the community. More than 80 families have already registered to attend.

The Homeschool Resource Fair reflects MCC’s commitment to supporting the region’s growing homeschool community by helping families explore academic pathways, enrichment opportunities, workforce training and student support resources.

“As a homeschool student, I found the transition to MCC easier than I expected because of the support system here,” said Rachel Martin, a recent MCC 4.0 honor graduate and homeschool graduate. “From success coaching and professor office hours to student organizations and classmates, MCC really lives up to the community part of its name. It helped me grow academically while also finding connections and opportunities outside the classroom.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with MCC programs and community organizations offering information related to academic programs, tutoring services, co-ops and classes, extracurricular opportunities, career training and resources designed to support homeschool students of all ages.

Participating organizations and vendors currently include local homeschool support groups, enrichment providers, educational services, extracurricular organizations and community partners from across Central Texas. MCC departments scheduled to attend include Community Health, Corporate Training, Kids College, the Child Development Center, MCC Business Programs and the Homesteading Committee, along with several additional campus programs and outside organizations.

MCC departments and community partners will host informational tables during the event, with some offering optional hands-on activities for children.
