This program develops and strengthens parent involvement and family literacy programs in schools and community centers in western Montana. AmeriCorps members assist in the development and day-to-day coordination of school-based Family Resource Centers, meeting the needs of both teachers and families of school-aged children. Members help connect families to resources and facilitate a variety of parent/child learning activities to enhance family literacy. They assist school staff by reaching out to parents and providing information and tools for parents to empower themselves in support of children's education.
