| NICHE maintains a list of over 120 support network contacts throughout Iowa. Each group is autonomous and NICHE makes no attempt to regulate how each group functions. We do not provide referrals to support groups designated as secular in focus, and we do not refer inquirers to public school Home School Assistance Programs (HSAP).
If you are requesting a Support Network Contact in your area, we ask that you agree to the following:
By submitting your request for a support network contact you agree to the criteria listed above. In addition, as our mission statement says, we are dedicated to providing Christ-centered resources for Iowa home educators. We are convinced that, in order to be ultimately and eternally successful, home education efforts must be built upon the perfect foundation: Jesus Christ. Although NICHE cannot certify that each and every local support group on our list is Christ-centered, we continue to provide referrals. We urge you to take the family-based responsibility to prayerfully investigate and consider potential support groups – not only as sources of organized activities and services, but also as powerful instruments of influence. If you are interested in starting a local support group in your area or you are already functioning as a support network and would like to list with us, please fill out the Support Network Group Registration and Update Form. If your group leadership has changed and you want to update that information, please also complete this form. If there is no group near you, you might consider starting a group. Please contact NICHE with your questions on how to proceed. |
