• Are you compassionate and willing to help people?

• Do you understand how policies, procedures and processes are implemented?

Can you speak up when others can’t?? …

These are just a few of the skills needed to be a parent advocate. Any parent or guardian can become a Parent Advocate. Parent Advocates are volunteers in the district that have been trained to assist other parents navigate an issue or situation at school that may require additional support. 

Parent Advocates help ensure our children and youth are treated fairly with dignity and respect, allowed to express their views, and participate in decisions that affect them. Instructor Susan Wilson will bring her experience and humour to this interactive and informative presentation, with over 20 years providing advocacy support to parents in our district and throughout the province. 

Interested parents or guardians are encouraged to register for this training, even if you have attended in the past, whether you wish to become a parent advocate to help others, or if you are just interested in learning more about how to advocate for your child and yourself.
