Once a month, we met at Cane Ridge Park for group play/picnic/support. Unfortunately, many of our original families have moved out of state!! We would love to get the group up and running for the 2006/7 school year.

Description: This is for any minority that homeschools and is located in Tennessee, specifically in Middle Tennessee. POCH will provide playgroups, field trips, support groups for parents and teens, and various other activities. The purpose of POCH is to provide an environment for the children to see others who look like them. It is meant to add "diversity" to their educational life. This is not meant to take place of regular play dates, field trips and various other activities. It is just a way to let People of Color know there are more of us out there homeschooling! It is also to provide a support group for the parents as well!
