Discord is a popular communication platform that allows users to connect and collaborate with forums, chats, groups, live meetings, town halls and media sharing capabilities.

THE REAL WHY
TO KEEP THE FREE STATE OF FLORIDA - FREE...AND PARENTS IN THE KNOW.
The Full Vision:
HEF CONNECT's mission as a 501(c)(3) is propelled forward with this project. That mission is to CONNECT the home education community with information, resources and opportunities that move students BEYOND K-12 and into life. This includes access to vendors, providers and organizations with workshops, information, mentorships, apprenticeships and opportunities. This is an exciting venture and we hope you'll join us.
HEF CONNECT also partners with The Home Education Foundation to bring accurate information about and legislative updates in certain channels and discussion boards, as well as to help find moderators across Florida who can be tapped as HEF Ambassadors to help in that effort.

Brenda Dickinson has retired, and as much as she enjoys catching up, her phone blows up with voicemails. The Discord Server will allow us to help parents across the state, connect them with information and resources, and provide benefits that Brenda's voicemail inbox cannot handle alone.
So, join us on Discord and let's do this!
