Parent & Guardian Engagement

We recognize the critical role parents and guardians play in their children's education. Our initiatives to promote their involvement include educational workshops, volunteer opportunities, and engagement activities.

At Heart of Los Angeles, we empower parents and guardians to use their voices to help achieve the best possible outcomes for their children. Our dedicated Family Services team conducted more than 60 workshops, reaching over 1,450 parents and students.

Please note: Only parents and guardians of currently active Heart of Los Angeles families are eligible for parent/guardian programming.

A mi me gusta ser parte del Club de Caminatas porque pasó un tiempo agradable con las demás mamás y el personal de HOLA mientras estamos al aire libre. Nos ayuda con nuestra salud y también conocemos nuevos lugares en donde disfrutar de la naturaleza.

Me gusta el club de caminata porque me da la oportunidad de interactuar con diferentes personas y conocer diferentes lugares que me han fascinado así también me ayuda a desestresarme un poco. Gracias a los líderes de HOLA por hacerlo posible, nada fácil, pero si no se intenta, no se llega a la meta.
