Zero to Five Missoula County we launched the first Parent Leadership Training Institute in 2021 in partnership with the National Parent Leadership Institute.
The Parent Leadership Training Institute enables parents to become leading advocates for children. Parents’ opinions are often unheard. They lack advocacy skills, but not the motivation or will to change their children’s lives. The PLTI teaches parents, who wish to improve the lifelong health, safety and learning of children, how to become practiced change agents for the next generation.
The first session of Missoula PLTI began in October, 2021. Parent participants engage in 20 weeks of leadership and democracy training and complete a community project.
Thanks to our sponsors for helping make PLTI possible!
