Join Our Team!

We currently have a full-time Support Specialist position on CMI’s team available. You can read the job description here. You can also “meet” the whole CMI team and Board of Directors on our website.

Here are five interesting tidbits about our team:

  • All of us with school-age children are homeschooling using Alveary. We understand first-hand what your days are like and what the challenges are of working while home-educating!
  • Three of us are military spouses (two active duty and one retired). We understand what it’s like to be in a new community every few years and not to have family nearby.
  • We are leaders in local co-ops, micro schools, homeschool classes, and Mason study groups. We serve in our churches as pianists, vocalists, teachers, pastor’s wives, and sometimes several of these roles! We have hearts to serve in our local communities and to serve our Alveary community.
  • We live in eight different states and spend a lot of time meeting via Zoom. (Our Christmas party included a very humorous Zoom scavenger hunt!) However, we are very much looking forward to spending time in person with each other and with you at this year’s conference.
  • This one is no surprise - we love books! You’ll notice almost anytime you see us on camera there is a bookshelf in view, and we usually have large reading stacks in progress. Sharing our latest reads with each other can be expensive because we usually end up buying more books!

From the whole Alveary team, welcome to all our new members! We look forward to seeing you at Office Hours next week, and visiting with you in the Hive throughout the year.
