Find a Place to Belong Part 2: Idaho to Minnesota

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.  Below you will find my second installment of the list.  

My apologies for taking so long.  I hope you find this and the post to come helpful.  If you notice that I forgot a group, please let me know and I will be happy to add it!  

You can find the other installments of this list here:
Part One - http://homeschoolgoddess.blogspot.com/2013/08/find-place-to-belong-part-1-alabama-to.html

Part Three - http://homeschoolgoddess.blogspot.com/2013/09/find-place-to-belong-part-3-mississippi.html

Part Four - Coming Soon

Feel free to share this with anyone who you think will find it helpful!  Have a great day!
