Anyone can start their own homeschool group. With our in-depth articles and videos in hand, you’ll be equipped for the adventure ahead! It all boils down to three simple steps:
1. Find your purpose
The first (and most important) step is to determine what you want your group to look like, who it's going to serve, and what your mission is.
2. Establish your plan
Next, you will work through the big-picture details of your group: bylaws, nonprofit status, insurance, and more.
3. Develop your policies
Finally, roll up your sleeves and determine the finer details of your group's policies, such as membership, child protection, and code of conduct.
