Email groups and web communities can be a great way to connect with other homeschoolers and share ideas and resources. Here are few Oregon-specific lists and groups. Each group has its own flavor so you may want to try more than one to find a group that meets your needs. * 2024 Note: we are in the process of updating and editing this page, if you know of an organization or group that should be added, let us know via the contact form.
