Joining NFLT

This is the website for Northland Families Learning Together - a Homeschool group based in Kansas City, Missouri - with about 70 participating families.

NFLT is a secular support group for Home Educators in the Greater Kansas City area, with activities based mainly in the Northland.

NFLT provides support, and educational and social events to the Kansas City homeschooling community.

This organization is inclusive and offers support to any homeschooling family regardless of religion, race, educational method, lifestyle, geographical location, or economic status.

The NFLT has regular weekly, monthly and seasonal activities.

These include weekly playtime at a local community center, park days, parties for nearly every holiday, science and cultural expos, talent shows and more.

We also have an active online group where homeschooling topics are discussed.

We're happy that you're interested in joining our homeschool community! All new members are given a free one-month trial membership so they can come to some of our activities, participate in the online discussions, and feel confident that the group is a good "fit" for their family before they become full-fledged, paid members.

To join the NFLT post a reply to this topic, including the following information
  • Your first and last name
  • Why you want to join the NFLT
  • Some background information about you and your family that is appropriate for us to send out to the rest of the members as a "welcome" message.
  • Your email address - we will contact you through this email - You must provide your email, or we will not be able to contact you!
Once you post your reply, it will go to the NFLT leadership - nothing you type in this message will be visible to the public. If everything goes smoothly, we'll create an account for you on this forum, which will generate an email to you with your user id and password and instructions on how to log on so you can start participating in the forum. We'll also contact you through email with a personal message to help you get started. We look forward to meeting you!

In my opinion this is the trickier part of obtaining a trial membership with NFLT. So, I want to reiterate why we ask for the information in the initial post. It really is important to include the following:

Email address
First name and Last name

ALSO - we need a little information from you about who you are. Why? Well, first, it helps to keep all of our families safe. Secondly, when your family joins I start a new thread on our private members only section of the NFLT forum to welcome you. To do that we'd like information that you are willing to share with the group. I understand that part can be a little unnerving so if you want to talk to me on the phone first just let me know and we'll arrange a time to chat. If you are comfortable, then just tell us a little about yourself and your family! Who are you, general area where you live, if you are new to homeschooling, anything that you'd like to share about your family. It really is a lot of fun to receive the warm welcome from our members. It helps you know right away that you aren't alone and support is at your fingertips. You'll be joining approximately 50 other northland families. Each family is unique in their size, developmental stage and academic/life approach. There are many who are more than happy to offer their support.

After you have submitted that information, I'll email you as soon as I see it come through. If you don't get a response within 24 hours please try again. I tend to spend a little too much time on my computer and if I haven't seen it within a day something went wrong :wink:

Warmly,
Cindy

PS - Remember that no one else can see the information you send initially as I am the moderator. Again, I will use that info to get you set up on the private NFLT members forum.
