Promoting Equity in Education for 40 Years & Counting
Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition was established in 1980 by a group of parents who wanted better for their children. Together, they began learning and teaching others about their rights as parents and exploring effective ways to support their children’s early development and education. Today, CSPC offers programs, courses, and other community resources that support schools, parents, students, and childcare providers throughout Colorado. We believe every child deserves access to a high-quality education, so we help bridge opportunity gaps by investing in educators and caregivers.
Join the movement!
CSPC is an anti-racist organization fighting for equity and abundance in education for communities who have been pushed to the margins. We reject acts of racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and white supremacy. We value context expertise over content expertise and are committed to our community centered approach to systems change and breaking down barriers.
Closing the achievement gap before it even starts
Through a rigorous 15 week, 120-hour training program, informal childcare providers gain the skills and knowledge to apply for the Child Development Associate and elevate their childcare career to a whole new level while getting Latinx children school ready.
Supporting schools develop strong parent engagement plans
CSPC works directly with Title I schools in developing customized, highly effective parent engagement programs. These teams are made up of the school administration, teachers, family liaisons, and parents. Together, they create a strong school.
