POWER (Parent Organized to WOrk for equal rights)
POWER is a parent leadership project that trains bilingual Asian Pacific American (APA) parents to become advocates and community leaders and make their voice heard. We are no longer accepting applications for Parent Leaders.
This unique parent project brings together a core group of diverse Asian Pacific American parents to strengthen their advocacy and leadership skills with the purpose of strengthening the voice of underrepresented Asian Pacific American communities. Parents meet every month to learn about education, health, and child welfare issues in New York City and learn how to conduct community trainings about parent rights around these issues.
