Our Purpose
No Child Held Back in collaboration with the Hartford Parent University aims to increase parent involvement in schools and empower parents to raise successful, lifelong learners. Hartford Parent University parents possess the ability to understand their children on a deeper level and focus on child development, advocacy, parent leadership and parenting skills.
Parents become more engaged in supporting quality education for their children. This results in improved student outcomes and overall school improvement.
