Connections: Parent Leadership Training Institute

A local organization is helping parents get involved in their communities in various ways. It's called the Parent Leadership Training Institute. Trainees have already tackled a number of local subjects, including opening a spray park in the 19th Ward, and working to smooth the process of Urban-Suburban students joining a local district.

We learn what else the organization has planned and how it is growing. In studio:

  • Carolyn Lee-Davis, advisor for the Greater Rochester Parent Leadership Training Institute
  • Rosalind Walker, institute alum and mother who lives in Rochester
  • Luva Alvarez, coordinator for the Greater Rochester Parent Leadership Training Institute
