Developing and Sustaining an Effective Parent Advisory Committee

Whether you are exploring setting up a new Parent Advisory Committee, or seeking to strengthen an existing one, this workshop will provide staff with the strategies and tools to develop an effective one. Parent Advisory Committees support parent leadership development and strengthen programs.

A special feature of this training is the opportunity to hear directly from a parent who has served on Parent Advisory Committees about effectively engaging parents in leadership.

Participation in this workshop will prepare Programs to meet the following High Quality Indicators of the Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support:

  • Community Building. 2.1: “Program implements a formal structure to partner with families to develop their leadership skills, and to facilitate opportunities for using those skills in the community.”
