Resources

At the Northeast Unschooling Conference, we believe it is important to center marginalized voices in our community, particularly those of Black and LGBTQ+ individuals. Because of this, we are offering a list of resources below that reflect these values. As such, this list centers BIPOC and LGBTQ+ businesses, but includes other resources as well. Please check back from time to time as we add to the list.
