WHO WE ARE: Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina (PEFNC) is a statewide organization that supports greater educational options through parental school choice. Simply put, parental school choice means allowing parents to send their children to their school of choice – public, private or nontraditional – regardless of address or income. OUR MISSION AND VISION: Our mission is to inform parents of the benefits of expanded educational options and empower them to exercise freedom in meeting their children's needs, regardless of race, national origin, income or religion. PEFNC envisions an education system that maximizes parental choice because children have unique needs and parents should have the freedom to choose the best education to meet those needs. Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina (PEFNC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit grassroots organization dedicated to providing middle class and working poor families with proven and affordable non-traditional educational options. We are North Carolina’s umbrella educational group for parental school choice. In five years, PEFNC has built a statewide network of over 25,000 supporters of increased choice in North Carolina K-12 education. During the past twelve months, we have added nearly 6,000 active constituents. PEFNC now has constituents in every North Carolina county. Please visit us at www.pefnc.org or www.myschoolchoicenc.org.
