How are you meeting the moment we are in as a country and global community? What are you thinking, feeling or doing, as you witness local and national polarization, particularly regarding racial inequalities? How does this shape, or do you wish it would shape, your parenting? 

Join FORJ NNHS parents for a community dialogue to hear feelings, beliefs, and experiences of fellow parents. The purpose is to connect as parents and leave with inspiring insights, practices and increased ability to support each other and our children more deeply.

Co-facilitated by Madeline McNeely and Roben Torosyan, with fellow FORJ NNHS parents.

The event will take place over Zoom Tuesday, April 29, 6:30-8PM. The link to register is in our bio. We hope to see you there!
