## When the time comes, starting a chapter will be simple.

Our model is intentionally built so that **ordinary parents—not professionals—can run a thriving chapter** with confidence. The steward’s role is that of a **coordinator**, not a boss. You gather families, help keep the rhythm, and enjoy raising your kids in the life of the Church alongside others.

 

National handles the heavy lifting.

#### What National Will Provide

You won’t have to figure everything out yourself. New chapters will receive:

- Insurance coverage
- Bank accounts & merchant accounts for dues and fundraisers
- Accounting tools
- Email accounts & templates
- Marketing materials
- Sign-up forms and onboarding tools
- Guidance and support every step of the way

#### Your Role as a Steward

Stewards help their chapter stay organized and connected. They don’t “run” families—they help families run *together*.

You would:

- Help schedule meeting days
- Communicate with your group
- Welcome new families
- Keep the chapter aligned with the Orthodox morning rhythm

That’s it. No teaching experience required. No complex management.  
Just a parent helping other parents build community.

#### Why Sign Up Today?

Because once chapter expansion begins, we’ll reach out first to families who have already expressed interest. Getting on the list now helps us understand where Orthodox homeschoolers are gathering and which areas are ready for community.

Signing up today simply tells us:

> “When you’re ready to launch chapters, please contact me.”

There’s no commitment, no obligation, and nothing to prepare right now — just a simple way to raise your hand so we can keep you in the loop as the movement grows.
