Children's Friend Parents as Partners
 
 
 
Children's Friend, an innovative leader in improving the well-being and healthy development of Rhode Island's most vulnerable young children, is currently accepting applications for its AmeriCorps program, Parents as Partners. The Parents as Partners program seeks Family Hub Liaisons to improve preschool students' readiness for kindergarten by increasing opportunities for family engagement within multi-lingual and low-income families enrolled at four Children's Friend sites in Rhode Island: Central Falls, Wansuck/Charles/Smith Hill, Upper South Providence, and West End areas of Providence. Family Hub Liaisons (AmeriCorps Members) are a direct connection between parents and our early education centers. They promote collaborative and responsive relationships between centers and their families, enhance families' access by actively welcoming parents into centers and organizing parent activities, and support parents'/caregivers' engagement by sharing information and facilitating school-family communication. College students in early education and human development fields, working professionals who are interested in new career opportunities, parents/caregivers, and individuals who are passionate about supporting parents, their children, and community are encouraged to apply!
