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.
