As we look back on 2023, we’re grateful for another year of growth and connection within our Parent to Parent USA community. We’ve been working hard to reach more families, provide better support, and strengthen the bonds that make our network so special:
- We held our 2023 Leadership Institute, bringing together 181 participants from 35 states to share ideas and learn from each other, and launched our first-ever Support Parent Summit, a chance for our dedicated volunteers to connect and grow their skills.
- We expanded our support for Hispanic & Latino families, who now make up 27% of the families we serve (up from 21% in 2022).
- We saw a 55% increase in interstate Parent to Parent matches, helping more families find support across state lines.
Looking ahead, we are excited to host the second edition of our Support Parent Summit on October 9, 2024. We always welcome your ideas on how we can better serve our community. If you’d like to share your thoughts, please reach out to our Co-Executive Directors, Lily Brown and Marsha Quinn.
