Teen Support: the Peer Unschooling Network

Jim Flannery, Peer Unschooling Network (PUN) founder, says...

"The PUN is a digital community for teen unschoolers from around the world. It serves two great purposes: (1) allowing teen unschoolers an opportunity to meet other teens who share the same interests or live in their area, and (2) allowing teens interested in unschooling to connect with teens already living the lifestyle and to learn from their experiences."
