PARENT ORGANIZING
The Parent Organizing Pod exists to empower parents by engaging in community organizing and leadership development so parents can learn about their rights, recognize their power, and use their voice to advocate for youth and families in Pomona so that our school district and city place children first.
Our north star is for all parent organizers to feel connected to other parents and peers that care about them and to feel powerful and confident because of their contributions to the community.
​
Our pod is anchored by the social action group, Padres Unidos de Pomona, which provides community oversight and accountability.
As a means to achieve these goals, we engage in the following initiatives and activities:
Organize Padres Unidos de Pomona in their community organizing campaigns
Work on leadership development for immigrant parents
Facilitate the Intergenerational Garden Committee
Facilitate Parent Wellness & Cultural Events
Conduct Community and School Outreach
Caretakers of the Gente Community Garden
Coordinate the Gente Free Food & Basic Needs Program
