Leadership Weekend is designed for those who serve in leadership roles within homeschool family groups and ministries. This weekend offers an opportunity to connect with Homeschool Minnesota-MÂCHÉ, fellow leaders, and your leadership team through engaging workshops, inspiring keynote presentations, and valuable mentorship sessions.

Leadership Weekend will be Friday, February 6 – Sunday, February 8, 2026! Check in begins at 3:00 p.m. on Friday and we will wrap up at noon on Sunday. This year our keynote speaker is Zan Tyler.

Zan Tyler’s homeschool journey began in 1984 when homeschooling was till illegal, and she was threatened with jail. For eight years, she and other families battled for homeschool freedom and established landmark homeschool legislation in South Carolina. In 1990, she founded the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools (SCAIHS) and served as its president for ten years. Zan loves to empower parents as they answer their God-given calling to homeschool. She is an inspirational speaker and author. For sixteen years, Zan worked with Christian publisher developing homeschool curriculum and resources. She is now a consultant with BJU Press Homeschool. Zan’s greatest privilege in life was homeschooling their three children through high school. Zan is the host of the Zan Tyler Podcast, sponsored by BJU Press Homeschool. Join Zan and a special guest each week for real encouragement, engaging stories, and practical wisdom for surviving and thriving on the homeschool journey.
