<br />communicate the importance of education to their children, how to help their children with <br /> <br />their homework and how to access needed resources.

By gathering with <br /> <br />other supportive families, parents will improve their ability to access resources to resolve family <br /> <br />problems and needs. By getting involved in community volunteer service and community events, <br /> <br />parents will enable their families to become valued members of a constructive peer group and <br /> <br />develop a sense of worth.
