Nationwide — Jae Carter and her two daughters, 12-year-old Kennedy and 10-year-old Morgan, are the founders of the Homeschool Yo Kids Organization, a Phoenix-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and they have just announced the national schedule for their upcoming 2027 Homeschool Yo Kids Traveling Expo. The 17-city tour will bring educational resources, curriculum providers, inspiring speakers, and family activities to communities across the country. It kicks off on Saturday, January 30, 2027, in San Diego, California, as an official National School Choice Week event and closes on August 28 in Phoenix, Arizona. Admission to the San Diego kickoff is free; ticket details for other cities are posted on each expo’s event page.
Each expo is designed for current homeschoolers, families exploring school choice, parents of children with special needs, and anyone curious about how learning can look different. Attendees can meet curriculum providers, co-ops, authors, and advocacy groups, hear from speakers on real challenges families face, and map out their family’s educational journey at the expo’s signature Vision Board table. Kids get hands-on activities of their own. “Parents need to know the importance of stepping into their kids’ education and leading their educational journey,” said Jae. “Chapter 5 of our journey is about meeting families where they are, in their own cities, and giving them the tools and community to take that step with confidence.”
The San Diego kickoff takes place Saturday, January 30, 2027, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Mountain View Community Center, 641 S Boundary St., San Diego, Calif. It falls on the final day of National School Choice Week (January 24–30, 2027), the nationwide celebration of K-12 education options.
