From the beginning, our vision for this group has been to establish a consistent peer group for our children. In keeping with this vision and the goals for BRAHS, all members are expected to read and commit to our mission statement and goals.

Mission Statement:
Bridgewater Raynham Area Homeschool Support Group (BRAHS) is a group of families in the Bridgewater Raynham (Massachusetts) Area who have an interest in home-based learning in common. As a group, we do not endorse any one resource, method or philosophy over another, but strive to provide a morally wholesome environment for the character development of our children. We welcome all families into our group who have similar goals and concerns.

Goals:
*to encourage and provide resources to those exploring the idea of
home schooling
*to encourage friendships with other home schooled children
*to support and be supported by meeting the needs of members
*to participate in community/charitable services

The BRAHS group meets on Friday afternoons in Brockton. In order to form a cohesive peer group, members are expected to participate in Friday activities on a regular basis and/or attend monthly parent meetings. Members are also expected to volunteer their time and/or resources periodically throughout the year. The BRAHS group exists for the purpose of meeting together to build and strengthen relationships. For this reason, those who do not participate will not be allowed to join/remain on the Yahoo site.
