Fort Smith Area - Learning is for Everyone (FSA-LIFE) is an inclusive, secular, & co-creative support group for local homeschoolers.

We currently meet up for a monthly bowling date and a monthly group table games date (for parents & kids, alike!), and we schedule field trips and other meetups as there is interest. As we grow, we hope to offer other educational programs, parties, clubs, Teacher's Night Out, & more!

- As an "inclusive" group, we welcome everyone of all races, ethnicities, religions, family compositions, learning methodologies, abilities & disabilities, etc.

- As a "secular" group, we expect all members to save religion & politics (via events/activities & discussion on-list or in-person at group events) for other forums so we may maintain a fully secular environment in our online forum as well as our in-person activities. This will help us promote inclusion & a peaceful, fun, & friendly community focused on homeschooling support.

- As a "co-creative" group, we welcome all members to participate together in making FSA-LIFE all it can be. All members are welcomed to contribute to our conversations, resources (links, calendar of local events, etc.), & activity planning (see "Orientation" document for tips on inclusive and group-oriented planning). The group will be as great as we make it, as active as we each choose to invest our time, presence, & participation. The more, the merrier. Come play with us!
