If you're having a hard time finding unschoolers near you, there are more ideas here about where and how you might look.

Although this isn't named "unschooling" it's run by unschoolers and so articles posted will be heavily unschooling-related. unchooling.blogspot.com

Seeing other unschooling families and hearing speakers sometimes makes the biggest difference for a family. Here are links to conference announcements.

Unschooling.com had a big message board and discussion list years ago. The message board is long gone, the discussion list has scattered out, but of the best that was written then is available by following links on this page (and the links on those). Help is here!

There's even help for remembering to breathe.

This site, SandraDodd.com/unschooling, is my own greatest contribution to the unschooling-help arena, but there are other places you can go.

To see what the daily lives of unschoolers look like, here are some blogs. Each has links to others.
