for children of African descent by accomplishing 4 goals: by providing an
environment for communicating helpful info and loving support online, by
organizing cultural field trips that help create a sense of pride and self
awareness (as well as an awareness of other people of color), to assist in
the recognition of a "world community" through community service.
activities, and to foster a sense of "extended family" through playdates/healthy-potlucks/etc.
DFW BLACKBOARD is a spirit filled yet secular list/group that accepts,
celebrates, and respects members of all religious faiths. Join Us!!

Support groups, for
some families, are imperative to the healthy and rigorous education of a
home schooled student. Although support groups differ from one another, they
all tend to provide the friendship, camaraderie and educational outlets that
children and parents alike enjoy.
