The Family Leaders for Ohio Schools Academy is a leadership program designed for parents and caregivers of children enrolled in K-12 Ohio public schools. Participants in this program connect with other parent leaders, build leadership skills, and learn how to work with local school leaders to address a need in their school community. This is a powerful opportunity to increase your knowledge of the education system, lead, and help shape positive change for all students.

All participants design a local school project and implement it by the end of the calendar year. The Academy provides support to graduates of the program as they implement their project and report how they have impacted families and school staff.
