Bronx Partnership Aims to Build Parent-Engagement Skills is the headline of an article in Education Week about what appears — to me, at least — to be a unique parent engagement effort supported by a college.

Here’s an excerpt:

Last fall, Mercy College opened the Bronx Parent Center to help improve student achievement by teaching, training, and supporting parents to become education advocates and active partners in their children’s schooling. The center wants to provide meaningful and individualized support for parents to assist their children academically, socially, and behaviorally from kindergarten through college.
