Best Way to Find a Homeschool Group Near You!
By far, the best way to find homeschool groups near you is by looking at the Facebook groups in your area. You may not like Facebook, but so many of the homeschool groups seem to be on them these days.
You can simply navigate to the community/groups tab and type in ‘homeschool group in [your area] and search. Homeschool groups will pop up depending on how active the community is around your area. You can join these groups and connect with other homeschool parents.
WHY Find a Homeschool Support Group?
There are many benefits of being involved with a homeschool support group. Support groups can offer advice, resources, and, most importantly, community.
For many homeschooled families, socialization is one of the biggest concerns. By joining a support group, homeschoolers can connect with other families who share their values and educational philosophies. These groups often organize field trips and other events, giving children an opportunity to interact with their peers in a relaxed setting.
In addition to providing social opportunities, homeschool support groups can be a valuable resource for information and advice. Seasoned homeschoolers can offer tips on curriculum choices and dealing with difficult challenges. Newcomers to homeschooling may find the moral support of experienced group members invaluable.

How to Find a Homeschool Co-op
What is a Homeschool Co-op?
A homeschool co-op is a cooperative effort by a group of families to provide educational opportunities for their children. It is a way for families to pool their resources and talents to create a rich learning environment for their kids.
There are many different types of homeschool co-ops, but they all have one thing in common: the families work together to provide an education for their children. Homeschool co-ops can offer classes, extracurricular activities, and even social events for the families involved.
Homeschool co-ops are a great way for families to get involved in their children’s education and create a supportive community. If you’re thinking about homeschooling or already homeschooling, a homeschool co-op might be just what you’re looking for! You can find out more about a homeschool co-op in this article.
