The Parent Engagement Institute has coached 44 community organizations in Illinois to replicate the Parent Mentor model in about 250 schools across the state. In addition, we have trained organizations to successfully implement the Parent Mentor Program in Colorado, Arkansas, Iowa, Boston, Newark, and North Carolina.

Please feel free to contact the Director of the Parent Engagement Institute, Bridget Murphy at bmurphy@lsna.net for a calendar of upcoming trainings and how we can provide technical assistance to your organization or district.  

Every school should have a Parent Mentor Program! It’s win-win-win for students and their families, the school and the community.

I feel like I help the teachers tremendously and I have had a positive impact on the students. I feel that the students have improved greatly. I also feel more positive, more motivated, and more successful.
