Parent Mentors, mainly Latina and Black mothers, help fill persistent equity gaps by volunteering in classrooms for 2 hours/day for at least 100 hours. The Parent Mentors are supported by weekly training on classroom instructional practices and leadership training. As a result, they support each other to pursue their goals and unite the school community for long-term change.
So that… every child has the love and support they need in the classroom
So that… every family has ladders of opportunity and webs of support to realize their dreams
So that… every school and community organization respects and uplifts the talent, wisdom, and leadership of parents—especially women of color who have been most impacted by social inequality
So that… person by person, school by school, community by community, we create the space for personal and collective liberation.
