Our story
Parents have the greatest influence on children’s learning and life chances yet are often overlooked as partners in education. Many face barriers such as time and financial pressures, lack of employer support, and negative school experiences. Parentkind empowers parents and carers by providing resources, training and advocacy to strengthen home-school partnerships, improve attendance and behaviour, and boost outcomes. We also support 23,000+ parent groups and schools and 200,000 parent volunteers who raise funds to enhance educational opportunity in their local communities. When parents thrive, children thrive — and communities grow stronger.
Through our growing network of PTAs, we help families with practical necessities to ease some of the daily pressures they face.
