Michigan Homeschool Support Groups

The Michigan Homeschool Support Group is listed in alphabetical order. To look for homeschool support groups for your county near you, search in the category dropdown menu and click on the county. Due to the way the WordPress plugin works (it will only let me choose one category, aka county, per listing) some groups have multiple listings because they serve multiple counties. Until I can find a different plugin or figure out how to tweak it, it will remain this way because I want you to be able to search by county. You can also search in the business directory (aka Michigan Homeschool Support Group listing).

The Michigan Homeschool Support Group Update Form
Hover over the tab Michigan Homeschool Support Groups and a Submit Your Group dropdown choice appears. Use this form to help homeschoolers find their local Michigan homeschool support groups. Update or add your information.
