Welcome to the wonderful world of homeschooling! Below is a partial list of local homeschooling groups, organizations, and more. If you would like to have your group listed here, contact the blog administrator at jannaode@yahoo.com. This list is not complete since there are also groups specifically for special needs, teens, working moms, etc. Those can be found on the ihen, iahe, and localhs groups below. A couple of these groups I do not have much information about. If something particular grabs your attention and you have trouble contacting the person listed, let me know and I'll see if I can help you. As you can see, there is a lot more available than people realize! Hope this encourages you on your pursuits. Happy Homeschooling!
