Through interactive learning sessions, Parent Leadership Circles, experiential activities, and Family Leadership in Action, parents learn and grow alongside a regional community of families.
Combines international experiential learning opportunities with continuing online parent leadership sessions and family activities.
Offers an engaging six-month learning journey for parents and caregivers wherever they are, without requiring international travel.
Parents and children translate their learning into practical actions that strengthen family relationships, nurture well-being, and contribute to more caring and sustainable communities.
PSE aims to expand access to parent leadership education for underserved communities, particularly families of public-school students, through scholarship-supported participation.
