ABOUT US

CPLAN is a parent- led advocacy organization that seeks to inform, inspire, and empower parents to advocate for more equitable educations for their children.

Parents as Partners

CPLAN was founded in 2016 by a group of mothers that took a stand for their children’s education. They realized that in order to make an impact, they needed to work together and collectively push back against the education system. Because at the end of the day, many voices are stronger than one.

We believe that parents, community members, and school staff need to work together to create necessary and sustainable change in the education system. We know that if given the proper resources, training, and support, all parents and community members can be a part of this change. Which is why CPLAN strives to create opportunities for parents to step into their power and put their students on a path toward lifetime success.
