Our Programs

Elders of Distinction

Elders bring an intentional cultural foundation to the experiences of children and their parents through the many ways we connect with others.  There are multiple opportunities for older experienced residents to participate in activities and share wisdom across generations.

Elders in Residence

Rainier Valley Leadership Academy is a charter school in Seattle focused on the education and holistic well being of their scholars. Elders in Residence interact with the teachers and staff creates relationships from within populations representative of the students. 

Parent to Parent Workshops

We have found that parents do not enjoy the traditional meetings that schools have for parents and focus on parents as volunteers. We provide parents with opportunities to come together to learn the systems and resources that allow them to be on offense rather than defense advocates for their children’s successful education. Some of the topics that guide the interaction

  • Positive Home to School Communication

  • Supporting your child as a habitual Reader

  • Its Your Team You are the Coach

  • Every Child is Born with A Gift and a challenge

  • Prepping for the Parent Teacher Conference

  • What does the test tell us?
