Areas requiring help:
article editors: Heart of the Matter publishes approximately 50 original articles per month. We are in need of a few “perfectionists” with strong grammar and visual skills to help edit and beautify the articles.
- article writers: We are always on the look-out for talented and inspirational writers. Currently we are praying for more writers who have a passion for the following topics – homeschooling toddlers, homeschooling preschoolers, homeschooling a child with disabilities, military homeschoolers, homeschooling an only child, homeschooling a large family, and homeschooling in a divorced family.
- special features writers: These special features include engaging weekly discussion-type posts, and a “comments of the week” post which spotlights some of the best comments from the previous week on Heart of the Matter.
- forum moderators and promoters: This would simply require that you choose one (or more) sections of the Heart of the Matter forum, post often to keep the forum active and spread the word to your friends. We have 58 sections to meet the needs of a wide variety of homeschool families.
- social media experts: Are you active on Facebook or Twitter? Are you a go-getter who loves making new friends and being active in the online community? We could use your help. We have so many great articles, announcements, and especially questions to share and ask of other homeschoolers. You would be given access to Heart of the Matter’s Facebook and Twitter, as well as a list of potential topics/questions that you can be creative with.

You can volunteer to be a hostess for as many conferences as you like.
Please note that all positions, with the exception of the sales rep position are on a volunteer basis. As a plus, Heart of the Matter’s team members receive free access to all of our conferences.

I am a freelance writing, homeschool mom of four teenagers–one who is graduating this year and heading to college on a full scholarship, the other three who are thirteen year old triplets! In my free time I run the junior and senior high classes in a homeschool co-op of 150 students and participate on the staff of Five in A Row curriculum. I am passionate about Jesus, my family, homeschooling with heart, gardening and good coffee. I would love the opportunity to contribute to HOTM and work with the amazing team that is represented here!

I am a former public school English teacher, follower of Christ, military wife, and homeschooling mom of six children, ages eighteen years (who has graduated and owns his own business) to nine months. I enjoy reading the articles you publish and would be willing to assist with editing, as needed. I enjoy writing, and am currently developing a “free homeschooling” website. I love to find a bargain on the internet or at the thrift stores, as we strive together to find ways to save money so we can continue to live on fifteen acres in the country with our children and a myriad of animals. Feel free to contact me if you feel you could use any sort of help I might offer.

Hi
I am not sure if I requested before but I am really amazed that I see this article today. It IS on my heart to talk about homeschooling a preschooler because that is where I am at right now. I am telling you I am really emotional right now because I was talking with HIM about it today…God is soooooo cool.
I am a mom of 6 (15,13,11,4yo…)and my oldest has always been @ home albeit online, cyber or traditional homeschooling. I also am noW actually adjusting to homeschooling in a big family as we now have 9mo twins romping around all day…except for NAP TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD FOR NAP TIME!
I am also a wife, a Children’s Pastor @ local church and a co-founder of HisFireKids.com children and youth ministry…
I am not sure if you need particular people to do certain topics but I’d LOVE to help you. Please let me know…blessings

I am a wahm who homeschools ages 5,6, 9, 10 and we roadschool. We live on the road and homeschool. We just started and are going on month 2. I’d love to write about the experience one day. now homeschooling is new and has given us the freedom to make choices more for our family then based on society’s norms.
Also i am a supercouponer and i have written a book called Super Couponing 101 which i sell on ebay and its been on my heart to give back and teach families how to be super couponers and get the most out of their food budget.im very passionate and its been an exciting journey and has helped my family so much in such a short period of time with a very strict weekly budget.
i hope to teach families especially large ones, single moms, unemployed everyone.
If you need writers for that area please contact me and if anyone needs a jumpstart please contact me. bless!
