Parent Allies for Student Success (PASS) an outreach program designed to teach parents how to advocate for their children.
NAACP Arlington Outreach Program is currently recruiting PARENTS and ALLIES.
PASS is seeking PARENTS who find
- little or no time to attend PTA meetings.
- Parents working two jobs to meet basic needs.
- Parents intimidated by language and education barriers.
- Parents left out of the education and community process.
PASS becomes the alternative to the PTA. PARENTS will learn to utilize government community and educational resources. Along with skills to identify their own, and child's strengths. Effective problem solving skills will be taught.
PASS is also looking for ALLIES to teach PARENTS how to advocate for their children, ALLIES should have a willingness to teach all cultural and economic groups of parents. The importance of their participation and involvement in school and community activities. ALLIES will have the responsibility for one PARENT for one or more years. ALLIES will be trained, at no cost, by professors of George Mason University. The training curriculum was designed for PASS by professors who are trained experts in the field of parent and child development.
PARENT and ALLIES are invited to a PASS orientation.
