Being involved with the Parent Coalition provides members the opportunity to meet with other parents, engage in leadership training, professional development, and parent-to-parent learning experiences. We build strong, lasting relationships while working to educate ourselves and the community
Why are parents so important? Parents have their children’s best interests at heart. Families are aware o
f what is going on in our community and we are able to see what is needed to improve existing programs. Together, we can think creatively, coming up with new ideas to improve the community we are raising our children in. We can also be the voice for our children, serving as their advocates and mentoring others in the community. Most importantly, our input helps all children and families in the community, not just our own! These materials were developed under a grant awarded by the Michigan Department of Education
