In the words of our Board Member, Susan “We are in a time of change. TOGETHER we CAN do this”

We invite you to consider donating to our #GivingTuesday fundraiser so we can continue to empower parents with the support they need for their children through workshops, resources and so much more.

Join us tomorrow!

SEVEN days to go!

Last year, we did our first fundraising campaign with Giving Tuesday 2023 and we felt the LOVE!

Our campaign reached 6132 people across our social media platforms and we raised $465 🥳

See feedback from a parent that worked with our Parent Advocate, Alexandra Arraiz in the course of the year:

“Initially when I was dealing with the school with regards to our situation, it was getting nowhere. Then I was connected with Alexandra and that changed everything. She worked with us throughout the process and we finally achieved the results that we wanted.”

This year, we are looking to 10x our fundraising goal to $5,000 to conduct multiple parent peer training sessions that can teach over 100 parents how to support one another and navigate the school system.

At Parents for Diversity, we believe every child’s story matters.

This week, we’re excited to share a carousel of some incredible children’s books that honor the experiences of immigrants and newcomers. These books open doors to understanding, empathy, and the power of diversity.

Check out our Diversity Library on our website- parentsfordiversity.com for a curated collection of stories that uplift every voice.

Truth. Then, Reconciliation.

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, Parents for Diversity bears witness to both the genocide of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people through systematic and purposeful violence and to the resilience, the joy, the beauty, and the culture of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people.

Our liberation is intertwined, and we will not stop until we all are free.
