LAMP Parent Support Group (PSG) -
Miguel A. Carranza, Project Manager

LAMP Parent Support Group will extend the work of the Latino Achievement Mentoring Program (LAMP), whose goal is to strengthen the primary ties between mentees, mentees' families, mentors, and school staff to increase educational outcomes. This will be accomplished by working with mentees' parents to expand their knowledge base about the educational system and how it impacts the academic success of their children. This expanded knowledge and experience should empower parents to become more willing to interact with the schools and enhance the potential academic successes of their children. This, in turn will empower these parents to take more leadership roles not only in the schools, but in other places and venues in the community.
