The Partner

Parent advocacy nonprofit

A nonprofit building parent leadership and advocacy capacity in local school communities.

What They Needed
  • Parents wanted to advocate in schools but lacked language for systems, rights, and data.
  • The organization had strong content knowledge but no packaged learning experience.
  • Sessions needed to work for adults with full schedules and varied literacy levels.
The Solution
  • Designed a 10-week fellowship arc from foundations to systems knowledge to public advocacy.
  • Produced facilitation guides, slide decks, and participant-ready handouts for every session.
  • Built a capstone so each fellow finished with an advocacy plan of their own.
The Impact
  • Fellows completed the program with a concrete advocacy project and shared vocabulary.
  • Facilitators had a repeatable program that could be run by different staff.
  • The organization gained a fellowship it could fund and scale to new cohorts.
