Family Empowerment

How do we build trust and relationships with our families in a time of change?

Join us for a 1-hr webinar about fostering a dynamic relationship between the guide, child, and environment focused on equity and transformation. With guidance addressing stated and unstated barriers to the communities that we are called to serve, participants will leave with tools and skills for empowering families so that all children have access to rich opportunities.

Led by Montez and Marviesta Crider.
