The Bridge Family Center is now accepting applications for its acclaimed Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI).

The free 20-session program combines advocacy, leadership, and citizenship skills into a curriculum to foster the best interests of children. Participants learn how they can impact the political system and become effective advocates for children. They will complete a project they are passionate about and attend both a local and statewide graduation.

The program is coordinated by the Family Resource Center starting in January and ending in June, and is open to parents, grandparents, guardians, or people who live or work in West Hartford and care about kids. A retreat will be held on Saturday, Jan. 13 and meetings will be held on Wednesday evenings beginning Jan. 17, 2024.

To register for the program, please visit www.bit.ly/PLTI2024. For more information, contact Kathryn Deane at [email protected].
