Since 1994, we have produced an annual series of events for SF Bay Area high school parents.
History
The Parents’ Coalition began in 1994 as a grassroots response to the challenges of parenting teenagers and has since grown exponentially. It was created out of a desire to look at both teen and parent/guardian relationships. Often when teenagers struggle, parents and guardians do not know how to help. Parents and guardians can feel isolated from each other yet desire a connection with those experiencing the same issues. The Parents’ Coalition offers platforms to discuss a broad range of concerns confronting parents and guardians, focused on how to support our students
Our Mission
Our mission and goal is to educate and inspire parents and guardians of teenagers as well as to advance communication and understanding with our teens. The Parents’ Coalition strives to build community bridges by bringing parents and professionals together to share information on various topics, to find solutions to parenting challenges, and to counter feelings of frustration and isolation that both teens and parents encounter through the journey of adolescence.
School Representatives
Each Member School provides volunteer parent representatives to the Parents’ Coalition whose roles are to help plan and promote events offered by the Parents’ Coalition to their respective high schools’ parent community, as well as to serve as liaisons from the school to the Parents’ Coalition.
