25 Years of Listening: The Story of Parent University

Parent University is a grassroots community collaborative focused on multi-generational education with the goals of reducing poverty and increasing health and wellness, public safety, and neighborhood vitality. Since 2000, Parent University has provided opportunities for parents and grandparents to invest in themselves and their children. By using consultative and reflection laden approaches that rely on the input and feedback of all participants we provide an environment to nurture confidence, provide encouragement and expand competence to enhance and improve individuals, families, neighborhoods and communities. Much attention is focused on the perception of ownership by all.
