Welcome to Homeschool Moms Connect! We're excited to have you here and hope you enjoy exploring the site. Below is a helpful guide to make the most of your experience. For more detailed information about features, be sure to check out the 'About' page.

To familiarize yourself with the website's features, we recommend accessing it from a desktop during your first visits.

Register - Basic registration is FREE. You need to register in order to place a profile as your registered name is what identifies you in the system and allows us to find your profile for you to edit through the 'My Information' option. Enter your e-mail address carefully as your password is automatically sent to this address. If you make a mistake, you will not receive your password. If you don't see an email, be sure to check your spam folder. If you don't see an email, be sure to check your spam folder.

Login - As a member, you may login either at the entry screen. Tip: If you forget your  username or password then you can have it resent by clicking on the 'resend password' link under the login box. Enter the e-mail address you registered with and we will send you the details you require.

Profile 'About Me' -  In this section, share a brief summary about yourself as a homeschool mom, including your homeschooling approach, interests, and what you're looking for in a match. This is a chance to add a personal touch to your profile, beyond the general questions you’ve already answered. Please remember to avoid including personal details such as full names or contact information.

Searching - You can  do a quick search based on your country, state, or city of residence. Under advanced search you can filter based on several criteria including, preferred type of connection, homeschooling style, and years of experience homeschooling, among others.

If you wish to find a specific member, you may type their username directly into the 'Username' text box and click search. 

Be a Mentor - Would you be interested in giving back to the homeschool community by mentoring other homeschool moms?  This feature lets other moms know that they can reach out to you with any questions related to homeschool that they may have.  If you have at least 3 years homeschooling experience, you can select “mentor” to be displayed on your profile. You can turn this off at any time. This role is intended as a resource rather than a commitment to a long-term friendship.
