Hello Everyone,
I hope you're having a great summer!

We are ready to accept registrations for the Fall 2024 session of Friday Enrichment. We have some amazing teachers and classes teaching this next session, so I hope you can find something that works for your family.

Scholarships are available! Part of the membership fee everyone pays supports scholarships for FE. There is a place on the registration form to request scholarship consideration. Scholarship requests must be submitted by the July 28th deadline even if we extend registration for classes. Scholarships are determined by the number of people who apply. Depending on the number of requests, we can usually offer 1/2 tuition for one class per child.

If you are interested in making a donation to our scholarship fund there is a line on the registration form where you can indicate that. Celia, the person who handles billing amongst many other things, will send you an invoice via email.

Please note: Masks are not required, but are optional. Please consider wearing a mask if you have been exposed to any respiratory illness or you are still recovering from illness. If you are sick, please stay home.

Some Important Details:

Registration is open until July 28th. After that, classes with insufficient enrollment will be cancelled and students will be assigned to second and third choices. At the discretion of individual teachers, additional registrations will be accepted until classes begin on September 6th.

Students are assigned to classes in the order in which they register. Registration priority is given to FE volunteers, teachers, and CHDH board members who sign up before July 28th. Volunteering and registering early give you a greater chance of getting your first choice classes.

Please make second and third class choices. We do not have space for all classes to run. If your first-class choice doesn't run or is too full, you will be placed in your back-up choices based on your time of registration. If you don't make back-up choices, you can only choose from what's left.

Registration is binding. Once you register, you are responsible for paying for the class if it runs. Finalized class lists are released on August 13th.The classes you're registered in on August 13th are the ones you are required to pay for. There is 1 week from when I release the class lists to when it is finalized. This week will allow me to correct any clerical errors, registration sign up errors, or make changes that come about for extenuating circumstances. Payment information will be emailed after 8/13 and will be due by the first day of class.

We need volunteers! Volunteers get priority registration. You can indicate your interest on your registration form. If you decide to volunteer, please sign up for 3 shifts on the sign up genius linked here prior to July 28th. If I need more shifts filled, I will reach out. The number of shifts is determined by the number of volunteers.

Hello Everyone,

We are now accepting class proposals for Friday Enrichment Winter/Spring 2024.

Friday Enrichment meets on Fridays mornings from 9:30am-12:35pm at Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 4907 Garrett Rd., Durham, NC 27707.

Classes are offered by homeschooling parents and community members in a variety of topics. We welcome classes for children of all ages and in all subject areas. Classes can even be open to adult students! We encourage parents to consider teaching--you do not have to have teaching experience or certification to run a successful class. Parents have successfully hosted board game classes or shared a favorite hobby. Also, please consider sharing the class proposal information with teachers or community members that you think would be great FE teachers.

We are accepting proposals for 6-week and 12-week classes.

Teachers set their own fees for classes, and are paid directly by parents. Teachers pay a fee to CHDH to offset room and administrative costs (which are also subsidized by CHDH), not to exceed $180 for 6-week classes and $300 for 12-week classes. Here is a link to our last in-person catalog to get an idea of the typical price range and to see sample class descriptions.

If you are planning on proposing a class, I would encourage you to read our Friday Enrichment Teacher Handbook, which has much important information about proposing classes and serving as a Friday Enrichment teacher. I have made some changes recently, so please read carefully. There is also additional information on the class proposal form, linked below.

More details about the Spring/Winter 2024 session:

The session will run 1/26, 2/2, 2/9, 2/16, 2/23, 3/1, 3/15, 3/22, 4/5, 4/12, 4/19, 4/26 (no class 3/8 & 3/29).
If we have to cancel classes due to weather or other emergency, we will work with the church to try and provide a make-up day.

Proposals are due by MIDNIGHT, December 1st.

Classes meet from 9:30 am -12:35 PM, broken up into hour class periods, with a ten minute break between. You may offer 2 or 3 hour classes if you like, although they can be more difficult to fill.

Please follow this link to propose your class for the upcoming session:
