Homeschool Support Group Guide
No matter if you are a new homeschool parent or a seasoned homeschool teacher, sometimes you need some support, motivation, and help. Luckily you live in the CSRA and can join one of many groups to help you on this difficult but satisfying journey.
I have compiled a list of support groups that have a long range. Some groups are just for moms to get together and talk about the struggles and joys of homeschooling. A lot of the groups are on Facebook® and plan field trips, act as questions boards and post other opportunities for homeschoolers. A few of the groups belong to national organizations and there is a membership fee to join. These may also meet to teach classes together (co-op*) or provide standardized testing at a low cost or free of charge (Examples: Classical Conversations, Veritas, and the Homeschool Education Association). I hope this list helps you find the right group or groups for your family!
