Necessity Leads New Homeschooler to Start a Homeschool Co-op

Homeschool mother Becky Abrams started homeschooling out of desperation. “By October homeschooling was a disaster!” she said. Her 3 sons were miserable and lonely, and Becky had a newborn and was lonely herself! She tells host Carol Topp how desperation and necessity drove Becky to start a homeschool field trip group and later launch a homeschool co-op–all as a brand new homeschooler herself!

In today’s podcast Carol Topp interviews homeschool leader Becky Abrams who started and leads a homeschool co-op in Oregon.

In this episode of the HomeschoolCPA podcast Becky explains:

Why she started homeschooling her 3 sons
What drove her to start meeting other homeschool families
How she connected with other homeschool families as a new homeschooler
What she did when her sons needed to find friends

My favorite quote from Becky in this episode is “I was a brand new homeschooler and I’m leading a group?!”

Carol and Becky met online at the I Am a Homeschool Group Leader Facebook Group. It is a closed group (meaning you have to request to join) of 2500 homeschool leaders from across the USA (and internationally as well). You can join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoolgroupleader
