Our Policies
HRVU has some basic rules.
Members must agree to these policies prior to joining.
1. Mixed-Ages​
HRVU is a group of mixed-age children. We encourage children to interact across age groups.
​
2. No Religious Affiliation
This is a secular group. Of course, people of diverse religions and faiths are welcome, but please keep in mind this is not the intended focus of HRVU.
​
3. No Photos, Please!
Please do not post photos or videos of other people's children on social media or the internet without obtaining parental permission first.
​
4. Be Prepared
Please bring your own lunches, snacks, water bottles, spare change of clothes, sunscreen, supplies, etc. whenever appropriate. Also be sure to dress your child (and yourself) appropriately for the weather or activity. Be prepared!
​
5. Clean Up
Leave every place as clean as you found it -- or better yet, cleaner. This means cleaning up our own messes and not expecting someone else to do it for us.
​​
6. Respect & Support Each Other
Let's all show respect to each other in our community. We are all parents just doing our best. Every family's Unschooling experience will look a little different. Some may decide to incorporate more organized activities or structured lessons into their lives and that's okay. Some parents make a conscious decision to be hands-off and let their children play without much parental intervention, which some parents interpret as permissiveness. Everybody's different. Let's stop judging each other and start supporting each other instead.
7. Shared Values
HRVU is an intentional community based on shared educational values and a desire for real-life connections. If it is determined that you are not an appropriate fit for this group or are not abiding by HRVU policies, you may be removed from online community access and not be invited to future in-person events.
8. Play At Your Own Risk!
HRVU will not be held responsible for any injuries, damages, accidents, etc. that may result from your participation in group activities. Ultimately, responsibility for safety lies with the supervising parent or guardian at all times. Play and participate at your own risk!
