Parent Mentors
Our mission is to engage and empower parents in their children’s education and develop participants into educational leaders in their schools and communities through volunteerism with provided training and support.
PWRUP EARLY CHILDHOOD
AGES 0-5
The years before a child reaches kindergarten are among the most critical in influencing his or her learning. PwrUp initiatives ensure that every child, from birth through age five, has access to the tools needed to establish a strong early learning foundation. PwrUp early childhood academic programs include: The Magic Bus (mobile pre-school), Parent Mentors (parental engagement, classroom volunteerism, professional development) provided in conjunction with early childhood education for Parent Mentors’ infant/toddlers, and Success at Six (kindergarten scholarships). PwrUp programs are taught in a nurturing, bilingual setting.
