    About Us

Background Image

Parents Connected is a grassroots parent’s organization created to engage students’ families, schools, and community in creating a college-bound culture where high expectation for success is standard.

We do this by equipping parents with resources to help their students achieve at their highest potential, providing services to help develop college-readiness skills, and establishing support services to help close the achievement gap amongst minority and under-represented students.

Our vision is that all parents are empowered with the knowledge, skills, and resources to assist their children in attaining their educational and career goals.
