Parent Mentor Program

LSNA, in partnership with nine area public schools, runs a Parent Mentor Program. The program consists of leadership training and then placement in the classroom for a semester or full year. The schools participating are Ames Middle School and the elementary schools of Avondale, Burbank, Darwin, Funston, McAuliffe, Monroe, and Mozart.  For more information or to apply to the programs, please contact Bridget Murphy, Joanna Brown or Leticia Barrera at LSNA.

A Cord of Three Strands: A New Approach to Parent Engagement in Schools, a highly positive ethnography of LSNA's parent engagement work by Wellesley Professor Soo Hong, was published March 2011 by Harvard Education Press (http://www.lsna.net/news/1177).
