Parental involvement in their children´s education is key to success in school and the child´s personal growth. Many parents among Bakehila´s target population lack the knowledge, experience, free time or language skills necessary to help their children. Bakehila’s involvement aims to assist parents in relating to and supporting their child. Programs include workshops for parents (a series of educational sessions), facilitated discussions on topics related to adolescence, visits from Year-in-Service volunteer (Shinshin), parent-child activities, and open house events at the local Learning Center.
