Local Support Groups
Support group contacts are sorted in two ways. Please choose a region or county to search for a support group in a town near you. Keep in mind that each support group is different. Take your time, and find the group that best meets your needs. Becoming involved in a support group that is right for you will help you to maintain success in your homeschool program.
If you are unable to make contact with a support group or your HOME Regional or County Representative, please feel free to contact the HOME Office.
Become a part of HOME's support group network! If you are a support group leader, there are several reasons why you should join HOME's support group network:
1. We have a long track record of service to Maine homeschoolers. You will be part of an organization with years of experience in helping homeschoolers around the state.
2. There is strength in numbers! A strong and organized network throughout the state provides us with a bigger voice when it comes to protecting homeschool freedoms. If a challenge should arise, members of our support group leader's network will be among the first to know.
3. We are available to serve you! Support group leaders within HOME's network have access to HOME staff and regional leaders who are friendly, knowledgeable and available to you five days a week! We know you are busy. Having someone just a phone call away who is ready and able to answer questions and offer guidance will save you time and energy!
To request any addition or removal of support group and/or contact information on this page, please use our support group change form. If you are interested in starting your own homeschooling support group, please contact your HOME Regioanlor County Representative. They will get you started!
