Our Parenting Degree Program, funded through the city’s Department of Human Services, is in its seventh year of operation. Its primary purpose is to teach parenting skills and to enhance parent’s ability to be successful in raising their children. Each year, our program enrolls 200 to 250 participants who attend workshops at 10 different sites throughout the city. The workshop curriculum includes a range of subjects designed to help parents protect their children from the daily hazards of inner-city life.
Some of the topics on our workshop curriculum include:
*Child Abuse/Neglect *Building Self-Esteem

The class sessions generally run during the evening hours, for 11 weeks. Participants receive $20.00 childcare, 2 tokens for transportation, as well as refreshments at the primary locations.
