About Us

Who We Are

Gender Diverse Homeschoolers (GDHS) is a youth-led community dedicated to fostering connection for trans and gender expansive homeschoolers and unschoolers. We strive to create a safe, low-expectation group comprising in-person gatherings as well as chill online hangouts.

Mission & Vision

The purpose of GDHS is to foster connection for trans and gender expansive homeschoolers and unschoolers, providing meetups that build a needed sense of community. Furthermore, as a part of this aim, we strive to involve our youth in leadership. We envision a space where trans and gender expansive homeschoolers and unschoolers can find community and feel empowered to lead.

Eligibility

Homeschoolers and unschoolers residing in Los Angeles County and Orange County who identify as questioning, gender nonconforming or transgender are eligible to join GDHS as youth members; members are admitted to youth platforms after approval from moderators, who assess members’ safety through an online survey. Exceptions may be made at moderators’ discretion. Parents and caregivers of eligible youth are eligible to join the organization’s Facebook group. For both caregivers and youth, links to join may be found at genderdiversehomeschoolers.org/join.

Our Team

Currently, GDHS is led by Ceeb "CB" Ancheta (she/her), a presenter at the HSC's annual homeschool conference, facilitator of homeschool speedcubing workshops, a Youth Development Intern at the Search to Involve Pilipino Americans, and a graduate of Angels of Change's HALO---a leadership series that specifically teaches trans youth leadership. Connect with Ceeb at this link! (If you’re looking to contact GDHS, however, that’s here.)

GDHS’ Youth Leadership team consists of 4 teens who engage in event planning, online platform moderation, and outreach. For the purposes of safety and confidentiality, these teens’ identities are not disclosed publicly.

GDHS welcomes trans and gender expansive homeschoolers and unschoolers and their allies to engage in its work. If you’re interested in joining GDHS’ leadership for any reason, please let us know at genderdiversehomeschoolers.org/contact.
