Study. Build. Act.

Utilizing classic community organizing as its foundation, the Parent Power Lab identifies and recruits parents to participate in a rigorous series of training whereby participants emerge as fully equipped Parent Leaders with the requisite knowledge, tools, and skills to build Parent teams that serve as the base of Kansas City’s Parent movement.

The Parent Power Lab exists to amplify the collective agency of Parents to impact public education in transformative ways.
