Webinar: Broadening Parental Engagement

On Tuesday, February 19, Justice Matters, an organization working to build a racial justice movement focused on transforming education, will host a webinar on approaches to engaging parents.

• Maria Velazquez, Director, Telpochcalli Community Education Program;
• Esperanza Emiliano, Telpochcalli Parent, TCEP Volunteer;
