Membership

Membership 2025-2026

Due to overwhelming interest, we will maintain a cap on group membership and will be adding new members only as space allows. If you are interested in future membership please review our membership prerequisites and requirements and complete this interest form. 

Note that the interest list is currently quite long so in the meantime we encourage you to check out the FB group Homeschoolers of Union County as well as this list of homeschool groups in Ohio.
