The Home Education Foundation has been the parents' voice in the Florida Capitol for more than 40 years, keeping a full-time lobbyist in Tallahassee to watch over what's happening in Florida legislation and to protect your freedoms related to parent-directed education in Florida. Our founder, Brenda Dickinson, was instrumental in getting home education legalized in Florida in 1985, and has been protecting it ever since. In recent years, Jason Crawford also came on board to work alongside Brenda and to take over the work as Brenda approaches retirement. In addition to our lobbying work, we also have a 501c3 Non Profit Organization, HEF Connect, that emerged out of the original work of the Home Education Foundation. Through this 501c3, we create community, share accurate information, advocate for parents and students, and connect opportunities to promote parent-directed educational freedom, including non-traditional learning opportunities for post-K-12.
