The Student and Parent Empowerment Program typically meets one Saturday a month at the Student Opportunity Center, 6928 Maple Street.

The program aims to enrich the lives of children and give parents a toolbox for helping their kids navigate middle school, high school and beyond. Educators work with local businesses, community organizations and volunteers to develop and plan each session.

“This is a free opportunity for students and parents to come together, learn something new and discuss real-life topics,” Dr. Lewis said. “We want to provide lifelong skills for our students and empower parents to be the best that they can be.”
