Prevention Works! A Community Coalition of Clallam County and many other organizations will lead an opportunity to learn about Community Cafés from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Port Angeles High School Student Center, 304 Park Ave., Port Angeles.

This training develops parent leaders, builds parent voice and facilitates action to improve children’s lives. The process is designed, planned and implemented by parents working with community partners.

Participants will learn to design culturally relevant cafés that help children thrive as parents gain leadership skills while building and maintaining effective partnerships.

Robin Higa, nationally known speaker and trainer on Community Cafés, leads the workshop for parents and people who work with parents and families.
