About Us:
The theme for this year’s Parent Institute is Engaging Parents, Connecting Community, Empowering Families. We are excited to bring an excellent array of speakers and presentations that will reinforce the importance of advocacy, systems change and will encourage children and families to aspire to do great things.
This conference is a step towards increasing awareness, education, and resources to parents and caretakers on the importance of advocacy and healthy living. We believe parents can become leading advocates for their children’s health and education, their families, and their communities.
Inspired by the 2014 Merced County Parent Institute, where over 400 Parents attended and 70 Exhibitors and 40 Workshops were provided, we seek to replicate a similar opportunity for our community. It is our goal to achieve those numbers in our inaugural Parent Institute.
