Question by Duchess: Where can I find a good Homeschool group in the Detroit Area?
I'm new to this area and live in a suburb ... I'm looking for a homeschool group as that's how my own children are schooled. Where we used to live I belonged to one, but here ... I can't seem to find any very easily. Any ideas?

Boy, I can see why you're having such a hard time. I googled and couldn't find a thing to try and help out. However, at Jon's Homeschool Resources site I was able to find the following: http://www.midnightbeach.com/hs/Michigan.html I didn't weed through the whole thing to specifically find Detroit but mostly because I do not know which surrounding suburb you live in. Have you tried to do a specific suburb homeschool search?
Good Luck!

I hate that part of moving. It takes time to find other homeschoolers you connect with.
I found a group on Yahoo Groups that in the detroit area.
If you are okay with a Christian focused group…

This is what I found on the web

Evidently the Detroit Zoo has a home education program
http://www.detroitzoo.org/Visitors/Nature_Center/Schedule/
that might be a good place to meet other homeschoolers.
If there is a local kids museum, going around 2 in the afternoon during the week can be a good way to meet other homeschoolers as well. The schools usually have to leave by ab out then, to get back to get the kids bussed home, so it’s usually a pretty good way of meeting other people.

that is a list of homeschool groups in Michigan from home education magazine.
Here is a link for a state wide online group in Michigan

Hope this helps.

You could talk to your new local librarian. Most the time they know if there is any home school families. Leave your name and number or email with the librarian to pass on for you.
Or you could check with your local YMCA to see if they have a home school group that meets there for PE.
Another way is to contact local church pastors/leaders and ask if they know of any families that home school.
These are all ways that I have used to find other home school families.
