Beau Rouge,
ReplyDeleteYou have given some great resources for employment opportunity. I would love to work with organizations that help families become self- sufficient. Thank you for sharing your resources.

Beau, Thank you for your informative post! I am familiar with the PTA and the NEA, however the National Coalition for Parent Involvement in Education is new to me. I think this is a great resource to have! Parent involvement is extremely important, if a child's parents are involved in their education, that child is equipped for success in their education journey. Excellent post!
