STUNning principles

The main purpose of STUN is to provide unschooled and homeschooled teens with a place to meet and hang out with each other. Our main goal is having fun. We also provide each other with contacts, ideas, resources, and support for pursuing our own individual goals.

STUN is a secular, all-inclusive group. Our members are eclectic and spring from a variety of backgrounds (educational and otherwise), but we're all free beings. Most of us are radical unschoolers, which means we don't go to school or do lessons or take classes (unless we want to) and our families don't impose a bunch of arbitrary rules on us.

We tend to hold strong opinions and be outspoken about them. STUN encourages open discussion about issues both silly and serious, with no restrictions on content or language. If somebody says something somebody else finds offensive, that can be discussed, too!

There are no membership fees, but we might have the occasional fund drive.

To give lots of people a chance to join us, our meeting times and locations vary. Check this blog for details, and feel free to suggest locations!
