Overview

What is Parent University?

Parent University Chicago West is a dynamic program inspired by the successful Parent University model launched in Savannah, GA. Parent University is a community collaborative that supports families. This initiative fosters parent involvement and participation in the education of our community’s children and youth.

Our mission is to enhance parent education and empowerment within North Lawndale, fostering a community where parents can thrive and reach their full potential.

Program Approach:

  • Empowering Workshops: Through the proven Parent University model, we organize workshops driven by parents, designed to elevate education and empowerment throughout North Lawndale.
  • Collaborative Support: Partnering with North Lawndale stakeholders, we guide parents in accessing vital services. We work closely with providers to connect parents to valuable resources and manage various aspects of child caregiving.
  • Personalized Case Management: Our program offers dedicated case management support, addressing individual parent needs identified during the initial needs assessment at the workshop onset.
  • Tailored One-On-One Meetings: Engage in personalized sessions with parents to overcome barriers identified through the needs assessment, ensuring targeted support and guidance.
  • Resource Connection: We facilitate connections to community resources, aligning with each family’s unique needs to enhance overall well-being.
