Some numbers may be out-dated or the groups may no longer exist in some cases. If so, please contact me so the information can be updated. As you can see here, there are way too many groups for me alone to keep up to date on! Thanks for helping!

Some groups list themselves by the area they are in while others are listed by the group name. I have tried to list the area they are in if it is not obvious. 

***Special note for Detroit area folks:
Area code changes....
if the number you try is not right it is because of the area codes being changed again! Try a different area code. Detroit proper is trying to retain only the 313 prefix. I recently heard that two additional area codes are going to be released in addition to the '734' added last year.

SHARE
Battle Creek/Co-op
SHARE is a Christian based homeschool co-operative, where we
meet once a week (every Tuesday). The location is Calvary
Baptist Church on M66/Capital Avenue. It starts every fall
the first Tuesday after Labor Day weekend, and goes through
the end of May. We start at 9 am and have classes through
4:30. You can enroll for one class or as many as you wish
for your children. Because this is a co-op, you must volunteer
at least 2 hrs of your time during the day. There are various
positions to fill. All classes are free, except for those where
a nonparticipant of SHARE is brought in to teach the class. We
have a few of those. We have competitive sports, a performing
vocal group under the teaching of a local lady who teaches the
Battle Creek Children's Choir (Voices from Home), Choir, drama,
yearbook, cheerleading, many accredited high school courses, and
much more. We have something from nursery to senior high.

Wisdom -- Coopersville Area Christian Home Educators
Coopersville
A small group of local home educators who meet once a month for either a mom's night out or a family social. We also try to offer 1-2 activities/field trips per month. Membership fee is $10/year if active member, $25/year otherwise.  Contact: Marvin and Kristi  997-9156 OR 616-837-9156

Still can't find a local group? Don't worry! Contact one of the larger area groups and ask for information. They always have info on new local groups. You can email me with a city or area and I will hunt through some other resources I have. Lastly, you can start your own support group with a few other families. Smaller is better sometimes! Good Luck!
