UNITED PARENTS

Supporting families where they live

the problem

In response to concerns about family stress, a team of leaders created United Parents to strengthen parents, their families and their schools or churches. The popular centerpiece, United Parents Cafés, supported parents through peer-to-peer conversations about parenting.

WHAT WE’VE DONE

United Parents went further by helping parents develop their leadership skills and bringing parents together to act on their common concerns. Parents successfully organized to get their schools to communicate with both parents, to improve safety at pick-up and drop-off, and more.
Parents at one school even stopped a strip club from coming in to their neighborhood. Over 3 years, we engaged over 278 parents and guardians.
