Schools and Districts
To Help Students, Start With Their Families
Engagement, attendance, performance. Students thrive when their families are strong — and strengthening families is what PEP does.

You’re looking for high-impact investments that will help children succeed in school.
Whether it’s kindergarten readiness, student mental health, school absenteeism, parent engagement, or child academic success, PEP’s customizable and culturally adaptive programs can help. Research shows the parent-child relationship and the home environment are two of the biggest factors in how students do at school.
The PEP Family Resiliency Program, delivered in English, Spanish and Amharic, brings positive behavior changes to parents and children.
From emotional regulation to parenting neurodiverse learners to navigating bullying and friendships, PEP gives parents strategies to support their kids through today’s challenges.
Parent coffees, family fun nights, mini-workshops: PEP offers easily accessible programs that normalize the idea of receiving parenting support.
One-on-one sessions for families who need a deeper level of support.
PEP programs are led by facilitators from a range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, fostering a sense of belonging within the group.
