STUDY BUILD. ACT.
Amplifying the collective agency of parents to impact public education in transformative ways.
ABOUT US
At the Parent Power Lab, we use classic community organizing as our foundation to identify and recruit parents for a rigorous series of training sessions. These sessions equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and skills needed to become Parent Leaders, capable of building strong parent teams that form the backbone of Kansas City’s Parent movement.
Our mission is to surface the power of parents to partner in creating exceptional public schools where all children can thrive. We envision a future where tomorrow's high school graduates are as academically prepared as today's college graduates and ready to face the world.
CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMS
We build parent capacity to transform public education through collective action and policy-level interventions for systemic change. Our training follow a structured arc from basic to advanced levels, each with varying post-training commitments.
