True democracy requires engagement of all community members. How do we engage and center the voices of parents and community in community and public systems?<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next six months, COFI\u2019s Center for Action and Learning and the COFI Wisdom Advisory Council will host a three-part Webinar Series.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through this webinar series, we\u2019ll explore how funders, advocacy groups, policymakers, and community organizations can deepen their commitment to parent and community voice and support a real, multi-racial democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n
