Our Charter
New Jersey Homeschool Association exists
to protect the homeschooling freedoms
of all New Jersey citizens
and to maintain a favorable homeschooling climate in the state
NJHA will act as a statewide information clearinghouse for active and potential New Jersey homeschoolers and others interested in homeschooling, and will attempt to monitor and address legislative and other encroachments on homeschooling freedoms.
NJHA will offer advocacy in disputes between homeschoolers and school districts, government agencies or other entities attempting to restrict their freedoms.
NJHA encourages membership and leadership from all facets of New Jersey’s diverse population.
NJHA is a volunteer-driven organization. No officer or member of the board will receive any salary.
NJHA will take no official stance on issues that do not directly affect the homeschooling freedoms of New Jersey citizens.
NJHA will not support any action which divides NJ homeschoolers into separate legal categories.
NJHA is an inclusive, nonpartisan organization that serves homeschoolers regardless of religion, race, ethnic heritage, disability, method of homeschooling, or other characteristic or distinction.
NJHA was founded in 1997 by homeschooling parents who felt the need for a state-wide organization that would provide information about homeschooling in New Jersey. We decided that NJHA would be an all-volunteer group. All monetary contributions to NJHA support this website, our post office box, and any other costs associated with the carrying out of our charter.
