Community Classes & Clubs
More ways to socialize!
Socialization is the process of learning and adopting the values, behaviors, and social skills of a society. It's a lifelong process that shapes a person's identity and helps them fit into their culture. Ideally, you’re interacting with people of all ages in real-life situations throughout Walworth County. But homeschool co-ops can be a great way to find support and group outings!
