April CSN In-Person Meeting & Training.

April 3, 2024 IN-PERSON CSN Meeting.

This Month’s topic = Parent Engagement!

We are lucky to have the team from Lead4Tomorrow join us for a training on PARENT ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES from two standpoints: engaging parents to participate in our services, and empowering parents who have successfully participated in our services to step into leadership and advocacy roles in support of our organizations and community as a whole.

This training will be held at the Sierra College Child Development Center

(250 Sierra College Drive, Building N17 Grass Valley CA 95945)

from 3:30-5pm on April 3, 2024. 

We are still trying to work out the logistics about offering the training in a hybrid model and will follow up with more information if that is a possibility.

We hope that you can still join IN PERSON for this exciting training opportunity.
