Parent Academy
The mission of Parent Academy is to provide the necessary tools and skills to build capacity and confidence in parents in order to support students academically, socially and emotionally. Classes are FREE and offered in schools and the community to meet parents where they are.
The Parent Academy focuses on three key pillars:
- Student Achievement – workshops and activities that provide strategies and tools for parents to support academic achievement at home and in school.
- Personal and Professional Development – workshops that build confidence while addressing basic needs, employment, family support, financial literacy and goal setting for the healthy development of families.
- Parenting/Advocacy – workshops for parents and caregivers to build and increase their effectiveness in advocating and leading on behalf of children.
