Oregon Parenting Education Collaborative Hubs
in
The Oregon Parenting Education Collaborative is a multi-year initiative led by The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF), The Ford Family Foundation, and Oregon State University. Financial supporters include the Meyer Memorial Trust, the Collins Foundation and OCF Donor Advised Funds. The initiative’s partners believe that parents are their children’s first and most important teachers, and that investments in strong parenting are a critical strategy for ensuring that all children are ready to learn.
Regional parenting education “hubs” work with community partners to deliver parenting education services while building stronger and more coordinated parenting education systems in their regions. Organizations build their region’s parenting education infrastructure and expand offerings of best practice parenting education programs for parents of children prenatal to age 6. Hubs also develop a regional framework for parenting education in their first year, identifying needs and gaps, and short- and longer-term strategies to address them.
