Parent Advocacy Fellowship
In September 2015, Blackstone Valley Prep will launch its first Parent Advocacy Fellowship with the goal of engaging and empowering parents to become leaders and advocates in the critical education conversation taking place across the state and the country.
Fellows will engage in a series of trainings, workshops, meetings, and tours to local and state offices throughout the academic year that will enable each participant to become comfortable and constructive contributors to the public school choice discussions.
