What do we do?
1.
Heighten awareness in the community about children’s issues, so that
all children grow up healthy and can succeed in school.
2.
Build the capacity of parents to work in the community.
How?
Danbury
Children First has three Committees that include parents and community
partners working for the benefit of young children.
The three
Committees are:
1. Parents as Partners in Education
2. Early Childhood Care and Education
3. Multi-Cultural Awareness and Understanding
Parent
leadership is promoted and strengthened in the community through the
following programs.
Parent Leadership Training Institute
program, a 20-week course,
is
offered once a year. It enables parents to become leading advocates for
their children in the community. For a PLTI Brochure, click here.
People Empowering People (PEP) is offered in Spanish and Portuguese
at community sites throughout the year. The program provides
opportunities and resources to help parents gain experiences and skills
while they take greater control of their lives. For a PEP Brochure, click here.
Provide consultation to organizations that
want to increase
parent’s role in decision-making.
