## Resource

Becky Wilmoth never wanted to homeschool. A new baby, a private school bill she couldn't afford, and a nine-year gap between her kids pushed her into it. Becky is a consultant at Nonprofit Ed Solutions, where she helps education entrepreneurs start co-ops, hybrid schools, and microschools as 501(c)(3) nonprofits. She is also a named Ambassador for the National Hybrid Schools Project.
