Parent Mentor Program

Current Parent Mentors COVID Self Check

The Parent Mentor Program is a nationally recognized parent engagement model that builds deep and lasting relationships between students, teachers, and parents. 

INTENSIVE PARENT TRAINING:  Parent mentors gain an insider’s understanding of the school system and strengthen skills they need to support their children throughout school. In turn, parent mentors become advocates for community resources and share their skills with neighbors.  The program can also offer a pathway to bilingual teaching and other careers.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS:  Parent mentors specifically address the needs of primary students, many of whom need extra support in grades Pre-K-8 because they are gaining literacy in two languages.
