Workshop Series
The Powerful Parents Workshop Series is designed to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills they need to become active leaders in their children’s education.
Through these workshops, parents gain a deeper understanding of the education system and learn how to build meaningful partnerships with schools. The series fosters collaboration between educators, schools, and families by addressing critical challenges that impact student success, particularly among marginalized communities.
Our workshop series is available through a cohort model in partnership with schools or organizations. If you’re interested in bringing this program to a group of parents or caregivers, please contact us.
