Here are some things you might try: Youth Groups at a Church or other religious institution, Boys and girls clubs, 4-H clubs.

I have found that homeschooled teens i have met fall into one of two groups; those who are naturally so social that they don’t have time for field trips, clubs, groups, etc, and those who NEED those groups to meet others. Keep trying, but don’t stick just with homeschoolers, try to get her involved with a group of kids with similar interests.

Also, in many places homeschoolers can take part in after-school activities at the local school, you might look into that.

She also needs to be the one contacting people…which might be hard if she’s not in the habit. It sounds like it hasn’t been very long since she’s gotten back into the swing of things, so just be supportive, and keep setting things up. If you set it up to have a party at your house, just go ahead and make up flyers for her to pass out at the classes. If it seems set in stone, rather than saying “Do you want to come over and hang out?”, saying “I’m having a movie party at my house, it’s at 7pm..come over whenever you can!” We have regular events, and what has happened is that over time more people show up, as their schedules change etc.

Too bad you don’t live closer 😉 We have a lot of teens homeschooling. My kids aren’t quite teens yet, but we still host stuff for all ages.

Is this a concern for your daughter or for you? Does she get along with older as well as younger kids? Friends don’t necessarily have to be exactly the same age. You don’t need a ton of them as well. Just encourage her to be involved in things that interest her. Get her into volunteering and community events. She will end up having friends that share the same interests.

Hope this helps a little!
