Minnesota Homeschoolers’ Alliance (MHA) is a statewide organization that provides information and support to homeschooling families. The group started out informally in 1982. MHA incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1991, and has been extending a helping hand to Minnesota homeschoolers ever since.
MHA is a secular organization inclusive of all homeschoolers. Our members are a diverse group of families with different backgrounds and different approaches to homeschooling, but we all share a common goal: to encourage and facilitate families that choose to educate their children at home.
