Grand Rapids Parent University
A joint venture of Grand Rapids Public Schools and Believe 2 Become
In 2010, passionate parents attending a Believe 2 Become community meeting responded to the question, "How do we help our children reach their full potential?"
With the guidance of LINC Community Revitalization, one group of parents formed an action group called Parent University.
In 2012, several of the parent-leaders joined a more expansive design team to create the framework and a robust offering of classes for Parent University. This design team of parents, aided by Evolve!, Believe 2 Become, Grand Rapids Public Schools, LINC Community Revitalization, Kent School Services Network, and Creative Change Mission, spent more than 100 hours putting the details together for a 2013 fall launch.
As articulated by the parents, the Parent University vision is to "Help parents be strong advocates of their children's success." The parent and community steering committee of Parent University welcomes everyone to join the ranks of Power Parents, helping children succeed.
