Homeschool Yo Kids Expo
The Homeschool Yo Kids Expo's Chicago stop takes place July 18, 2026 at Shine Bright Community Center, 8560 S Cottage Grove Ave on the South Side. The nonprofit expo runs from 11 AM to 2 PM and uses a pay-what-you-want ticket model, with families free to enter at no cost or contribute any amount they choose. The gathering brings together curriculum vendors, school choice advocates, and co-op networks alongside speakers from the homeschool movement, educational professionals, and parents. Hands-on crafts and a collaborative vision board activity give children and families structured engagement beyond the vendor floor. The expo serves first-time homeschoolers, veterans, and families with children with special needs equally.
Founded to serve families often underrepresented at mainstream conventions, Homeschool Yo Kids Expo operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with one of the widest geographic footprints in homeschool events — hitting cities from Oakland and Miami to Chicago, Newark, and Denver each year. The expos welcome families regardless of background, faith, or educational philosophy and draw curriculum vendors, school-choice advocates, and local co-op networks alongside inspirational presentations. Families considering homeschooling for the first time, parents of children with special needs, and veteran homeschoolers all find a place at the expo floor.
