Event Team

Help Create Welcoming Events for Homeschool Families

The Illinois Homeschool Resource Center exists to strengthen homeschool families through connection, encouragement, and shared experiences. Our Community Team helps make that happen by supporting the events and activities that bring families together.

From Kids Club gatherings to workshops and special events, these volunteers help create an atmosphere where families feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged.

Many of these roles require just a few hours per month, and volunteers can often choose the events that fit their schedule.

Event Helpers

Event helpers assist with the practical needs that make events run smoothly.

Responsibilities may include:

• Setting up tables and supplies
• Greeting families as they arrive
• Helping keep activities organized
• Assisting with cleanup afterward

This is a great role for someone who enjoys being around people and helping create a welcoming environment.

Event Planning

Event Planning volunteers help organize and coordinate special events hosted by the Illinois Homeschool Resource Center. These events create opportunities for families to connect, learn, and build community.

Responsibilities may include:

• Helping brainstorm new event ideas
• Assisting with scheduling and logistics
• Coordinating supplies and materials
• Communicating with instructors or presenters
• Helping prepare event plans and timelines

Some volunteers help plan an entire event, while others may simply assist with one part of the planning process.

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys organization, creativity, and working behind the scenes to bring events to life.

Time commitment varies depending on the event, and many planning tasks can be done from home and on a flexible schedule.

We would love to talk with you about getting involved. Even helping once or twice a month can make a meaningful difference for the families who attend our events.
