Applications Open for Parents Who Lead
Parents and caregivers interested in becoming better advocates for their children are invited to apply for Parents Who Lead, a 20-week program of Duval County Public Schools, the Jacksonville Public Education Fund and Kids Hope Alliance.
The program organizes events for participants to learn about the structure of local government and empowers parents to translate problems into action. Among the things participants will learn are:
- How cities and school systems work
- How and when to speak in public forums
- How to influence decisions in ways that create lasting change for all the kids in your community
By the end of the program, participants are able to create personalized projects that address changes they want to see in the education system.
Applications are being accepted until Nov. 22 and the program will run from January to June 2025. Interested individuals can apply at www.jaxpef.org.
