The Colorado Homeschool Freedom Team, led by the CHEC Legislative Liaison Carolyn Martin, stands up for your parental and religious freedom. Carolyn and the rest of the team have worked tirelessly, through the hundreds of bills that we carefully watched, keeping an eye out for your freedom.

Since this freedom cannot come without a cost, we are raising $10,000 for the Colorado Homeschool Freedom Fund (CHF Fund) to make sure Carolyn and her team have what they need to stand for our freedom. We invite you to help us reach our goal and support the freedom of thousands of homeschooling families in Colorado.
