The purpose of this course is to provide educators and out-of-school time professionals inspiration, ideas and research that supports the positive impacts of family engagement within their programs. Parents and families of our students have busy days, but being involved in the activities and education of their child is something that can have a huge effect on the success of each child and your program as a whole. This course will help you identify opportunities that will work for your families and strengthen your community.
