Find a Place to Belong Part 1: Alabama to Hawaii

Being a secular homeschooler usually comes with two unique challenges.....finding secular curriculum and finding secular/inclusive homeschool groups within the local community.
The second is the driving force for this post.  To the best of my ability, I have compiled a list of secular/inclusive homeschool groups in the United States.  

I've decided to do this blog in installments simply because finding groups and verifying that they are active takes a lot of time and for some reason my children insist that I feed and care for them.

    We just began a co-op in our area this fall. It does not have a label to it either way. It is clear in our mission that we are neither a religious based or secular based but we are an EDUCATIONAL homeschool coop.
