Finding Unschooling Community

Find Your People!

Sounds easy enough, but sometimes it's a little harder to do!
Unschoolers ARE out there. Maybe these suggestions will help you.

  • Local Groups - use this page (below) for links, but Google or Facebook can often help you find more. Sometimes you can find relaxed traditional homeschooling groups and meet to do fun things your kids enjoy.
  • Unschooling Conferences - we have a list -> Here
    But if you hear of more, send them on over!         Coaching@SuePatterson.com
  • Online Options
  • Social Media is a good option if you just need a little reminder that others are out there too! Instagram & Facebook
  • Creating Confidence Membership group offers multiple Zoom calls each week with other unschooling parents

Find Local Groups

When you join the unschooling community, one of the greatest benefits is knowing you aren't alone. You can give and receive support.


The next step is to find your local unschooling community. Connecting with other unschooling parents near you will help you and your children become part of a group on a similar schooling path. These moms and dads will likely be less judgemental and more accepting than mainstream parent groups may be. 


In the Mom2Mom group, each state or country has its own thread to find parents near you. To make it easy for you to connect locally, Sue has gathered a variety of Facebook groups centered in different cities, regions, states, and countries. She also provides connections to select-focus groups such as a Spanish-only international unschooling group.

Unschooling Conferences

Conferences are fabulous places to hear directly from experienced unschoolers, ask questions, and alleviate some of your own fears.
