Parent Workshops
Girls Rule! is an authorized CPS service provider


Parents are sometimes overlooked, but vitally important stakeholders in the success of young ladies and gentlemen, especially those residing in urban communities.  With a focus on their importance in helping our young ladies succeed, the Girls Rule! Parent Engagement component focuses on teaching parents how to support and become apart of their children's learning as well as to reinforce what their children have learned as participants in our programs. 

Girls Rule! parent workshops help parents to enhance their own knowledge while learning strategies and methods incorporated in the programs to employ at home with their children.  Parents are encouraged to model learning as a continuous process, which is crucial in fostering a life-long love of learning in their children.  Sessions provide parents with useful and effective tools, strategies and activities which strengthen learning for the while family. 

Parent workshops are available for each Girls Rule! program and as stand alone workshops.
