Support Groups 

Oklahoma Support Groups

Home Educators' Resource Organization (HERO) of Oklahoma sponsors this website, OklahomaHomeschooling.org.  We are an inclusive statewide resource organization; not a support group.  However, we act as a networking tool for support groups and homeschooling families in Oklahoma.  HERO of Oklahoma provides free listings for Oklahoma homeschool support groups.  Support group leaders:  please help HERO keep accurate information available to homeschoolers seeking support by notifying us of changes. 

Groups affiliated with HERO are autonomous, but agree not to restrict membership; all are welcome.  HERO-affiliated support groups, listed below, are identified by this symbol:

Support groups not affiliated with HERO may or may not have membership restrictions.   Some groups are not accepting new members or do not accept members outside their sponsoring organization (often a church). 

Please note that these groups' policies do not necessarily reflect the policies or beliefs of HERO of Oklahoma; philosophies and methods espoused by individual groups vary widely, even among HERO affiliates.
