The Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition provides advocacy and training for parents, and childcare providers to be meaningfully engaged in the success of their children’s education to close the achievement gap and ensure successful future educational outcomes.
The vision of the Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition is community where all children are equipped with the skills to learn, supported by a village, and encouraged to succeed.
The Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition was established in 1980 by a group of parents that wanted better for their children. Together, they began organizing other parents to help them know their rights are parents and to learn effective and meaningful ways of being engaged in their children's education. Since then, CSPC has developed diverse programming that builds support for schools, parents, and students.
