Parent Leadership Training, now in its fifth year, has been offered to families in Oak Park, River Forest, and the surrounding area with young children. On January 27, the Collaboration for Early Childhood will offer the training bilingually (English and Spanish) to Berwyn-area families for the first time thanks to a grant from the Berwyn Development Corporation Philanthropic Grant program.  Parent Leadership Training uses a curriculum designed by COFI (Community Organizing Family Issues). It is a seven-week training that brings together a small, committed group of parents and caregivers who work together to create an action plan to define and then accomplish their goals. These goals can be life goals or goals for the community as a whole.  The Parent Leadership Training is open to all Berwyn-area parents and caregivers of young children and is completely free. The 7-week training will begin on Saturday, January 27 at 9a.m. Participants may join either online or in person (location in Berwyn TBD). Free child care will be available for all participants who join the training in person. The training will be facilitated in English and Spanish.  Parents and caregivers who are interested in participating in the training beginning on January 27 can visit: collab4kids.org/events/plt-for-berwyn-families to register and learn more about the training.
