Research from the Children’s and Parent Leadership Training Institute

Join Grantmakers for Thriving Youth, NYU Metro Center, University of Michigan, and the National Parent Leadership Institute to discuss findings and recommendations from the “Building Power Together: Family Civics in Communities of Color” study.

Researchers and panelists will discuss findings and recommendations from the “Building Power Together: Family Civics in Communities of Color” study.

Funded by the William T. Grant Foundation, this 4-year mixed method study focused on a community-based civic leadership initiative for parents/caregivers and their children, ages 3-12 — the Children’s Leadership Training Institute (CLTI) and the Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI).

The webinar includes researchers, Dr. Joanna Geller, Dr. Matthew Truwit, and Dr. Wendy Y. Perez, and a panel with PLTI and CLTI alumni, Shatara Tucker and her son Liam, and CLTI teacher, Tyler Benson.

Spanish interpretation will be available.
