Parent Leader Training

Learn How You Can Become a Parent Advocate at the Parent Leadership Initiative Information Cafe on December 8, 2016

The Parent Leadership Initiative (PLI), of the Child Care Council of Suffolk, will host an Information Café on Thursday, December 8, 2016, 6:00 p.m., at the South Huntington Public Library, 145 Pidgeon Hill Rd., Huntington Station, NY 11746. PLI welcomes all parents and caregivers to join us because we know it takes a village to raise a child.

At our Information Café, you will learn more about how participation in the PLI program can help you:

●Become a stronger advocate for children, families and your community.

PLI classes are held one night each week at a centralized location in your region, though you are welcome to take classes at any one of our three program locations – Eastern, Central and Western as well as Spanish PLI. Dinner and child care will be provided. PLI has been active on Long Island for more than 24 years through the financial support of both private and public organizations. There is no fee for the Information Café or the PLI program – the only requirement is your time and commitment.
