Our Purpose
The Mission of HRVU is to...
-
Provide a place for local Unschooling parents to share resources, socialize, build community, and support each other - both online and in person.
-
Help fellow Unschooling parents comply with New York State's overbearing homeschool laws, including reporting regulations and assessment requirements.
-
Seek and share info regarding budget-friendly educational opportunities in the Hudson Valley area that are of interest to Unschooling families.
-
Offer opportunities to Unschooled children of mixed ages and diverse backgrounds to socialize, learn from each other, play together, and explore the natural attractions of the beautiful Hudson Valley.
-
Connect children to mentors and community resources that will help them pursue their personal interests and self-education.
-
Empower families to choose Unschooling as a viable alternative to public schooling and reduce the stigma associated with choosing homeschooling in general.
