Are you interested in starting a parent organization at your school? Are you a part of a parent organization and looking for more information about the possibilities of expanding your scope and size?

The Office of Family and Public Engagement has worked extensively with parents and community members involved in parent organizations throughout the city and, using the feedback we’ve received around the formation and function of parent organizations, we have created a short guide with the critical steps to starting a parent organization. This guide is for any person interested in starting an organization, reviving a previous organization or focusing the work of a currently functioning organization.
