Our Programs

PLAN builds bridges between parent-based groups, allied coalitions, and policy organizations that span multiple issues, county lines, language, and culture. PLAN supports and galvanizes low-income parents to act as a powerful counterweight in a society that increasingly puts their needs at the bottom of the priority list.

PLAN provides Bay Area parents and parent organizations with opportunities to:

  • Build relationships with other parents and organizations
  • Network with peers and build alliances
  • Develop leadership and advocacy skills
  • Exchange information and strategies
  • Take action on common concern

We invite you to join us as a participant, member, donor, or partner as we embark on the next three years of movement building for positive change for the Bay Area’s children and families.
