CVNY provides seven distinct activities to engage parents, families and community members, including:
- Virtual Workshops: online-sessions that use our pedagogy to develop parents’ critical thinking, research and executive functioning skills on a range of topics, with emphasis on economic development and fatherhood.
- In-person Workshops: sessions held at each school that focus on local needs, interests and concerns of parents and family members, developed based on a local needs assessment administered at the school level.
- Community Resource Info Sessions: local social service providers are invited to let parents and family members know of the supports the resources and interventions that are available to them.
- School Resource Info Sessions: School-system resource providers are invited to let parents and family members know of the supports the resources and interventions that are available to them.
- Advisory Council Meetings: parents, families and community members join other members of the school community to discuss the progress, plans, feedback and suggestions related to the program.
- Special Events: parents, families and community members participate as audience or volunteers to support and observe students as they showcase their mastery of the things they learned in the program.
- Action Projects: parents, families and community members participate as volunteers to plan and implement student-led community activities that address the causes and effects of their neighborhood concerns.
In addition to delivering the aforementioned services, we also provide professional development to parent coordinators in the form of workshops and one-on-one coaching. Last but not least, we develop family literacy curricula covering a range of issues, and allow schools/districts to license our artificial intelligence-powered generator “Teacher PAI” to create customized parent workshops.
