COFI Organizing Model Highlighted In New Book

Hot off the press! Today “The Ripple Effect in Action: What 7 Parent Leadership Organizations Learned from Evaluation” was published. COFI is highlighted in a chapter on our Family Focused Organizing model based on a participatory evaluation project led by parents and staff.

If you’d like to learn more about the Family Focused Organizing model, you’re in luck! COFI is holding two upcoming trainings for those interested in using Family Focused Organizing in their own communities.

Coming Up in Two Weeks
