Parent Leadership

Parents play an important role in their homes and communities. They are leaders not only in their families but also in schools, programs, organizations and communities. They play a vital role in using their voice to shape programs and practices. 

February is National Parent Leadership Month. To help honor parent leaders, we are providing tools and community resources to highlight the important role they play and help them be their best. 

Messages and links can be used as is or customized for your community or with your program’s information.
