The Parent Mentor Program works with public schools statewide to recruit neighborhood parents to assist teachers in the classroom. Interviewed by members of the Parent Engagement Institute, women Carmen, Brenda, Jackie, and Ms. Tina reveal their journey from the role of Parent Mentor to that of teacher, social worker, student, and civic organizer.
