The following is a list of support groups for homeschool families in the Inland Empire. These type of groups usually do not have an affiliation with a charter or PSP. Some of these groups are secular/inclusive (meaning all faiths/non-faith are welcome) and some are exclusive (meaning they are created with a certain religious faith in mind). Some of these groups may have regular park days or special events. Please keep in mind that this list may not be current or complete. Contact the group directly to find out how to get involved! *If you would like your group added or removed, please contact me at trishwelham@gmail.com. As a busy homeschool mom I only update this list once or twice a year. Thank you for your understanding. |
