Founded in the mid-90s, Alameda Oakland Home Learners (AOHL) is an inclusive, member-run community welcoming families of all backgrounds and homeschooling styles. We are an active, in-person group that thrives on regular participation through weekly park days, field trips, camping trips, and shared family events.

________________________________________________

We’d love to meet you!

The best way to get to know our community is to come hang out with us at a Park Day. We rotate through 3 anchor regional locations on the first 3 Thursdays each month, keeping our 4th Thursday reserved for nature or field trips.

1st Thursday | Jean Sweeney Park, Alameda
Find us at the playground picnic tables or near the covered pavilion
 
2nd Thursday | Dimond Park, Oakland
Find us at or near Sequoia Grove Picnic Area
 
3rd Thursday | Strawberry Creek Park, Berkeley
Find us on the grassy slope near the playground

Our public meet-and-greet window is from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Attendance peaks during these two hours, making it the best time to drop in, meet families, and experience the vibe of our group! (Note: On rare occasions, a park day is swapped for a fieldtrip, camping trip or special event. If you miss us, please try again another week!)

Joining Policy:

To keep our community close-knit, safe, and connected, we require all families to meet us in person at a Park Day before joining our private member platform. Because our group is collaboratively organized, we encourage active, regular participation—that’s where the true magic of community happens!

Once we’ve met at the park and you confirm AOHL fits your family’s schedule and needs, we’ll gladly send you an invite to join.
