There has been a surge of interest in parent leadership and organizing, not just at COFI but across the country. We\u2019ve heard from many people like you who work in government, organizations, schools, foundations, and advocacy groups and want to know how to work better with parents. We are asked: How do we get parents to our policymaking table? What does it take to engage them? Will parents support our issues? How can the participation be real?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve come to the right place. \u201cWe\u2019re Glad You Asked\u201d reflects COFI\u2019s nearly 30 years of parent-led organizing and gives insights, gathered from parent leaders themselves, into what they think it takes to center their voices in policymaking and advocacy\u00ad. You will hear how parent leaders can move things forward as partners in decision-making. You will learn what you need to consider from the start, with three key ideas to help you and your institution integrate parent leaders as a force for systems change.<\/p>\n
