Parent Leadership and Organizing
Our work is rooted in justice and power and in order to create power our leadership must be reflective of the communities we serve. We are dedicated to effective and sustainable parent leadership development through deep relational organizing practices that identify potential leaders and help them to actualize their own power and mobilize their own communities in order address systemic barriers to quality education.
