COLEGIO DE PADRES

COLEGIO DE PADRES

At Latino Network, family is at the heart of everything we do. Latino Network’s parent and family engagement programs honor your role and investment in your child’s future and complement our youth programs. Our Latinx instructors empower parents with the tools and resources needed to be advocates for themselves and their children.  Colegio de Padres, for parents of middle and high school students, hosts workshops that help parents, many of whom are immigrants, understand the educational system in the US and the challenges facing their children.
