Why This is Important:
A key aspect of this role is educating homeschool families about the possibility of using charter school funding for surf lessons. Many families may not know they can use their education stipends for extracurricular activities, and it will be your job to help them navigate this process.

Charter schools provide funding that homeschooling families can use to pay for surf lessons, and we need your help to spread the word and educate families on how to access these funds.
Outreach to Charter Schools: Part of your role will also involve working with charter schools to ensure we are listed as an approved vendor, making it easier for families to use their charter funds with us.
