Finding a community of support is a key to homeschooling success, so we’ve organized this Support Groups Directory. Some groups schedule meet-ups, classes, co-ops, clubs, and field trips. Others are online support, sharing resources and information. Some have fees and member requirements. Others are no cost, no participation requirements. Some adhere to a particular statement of faith. Others do not. New ones are popping up all the time. Contact us to add a support group or update the contact information.
