Investing in the Power of Families

2025 CHALLENGE GRANT AWARDEES

Thanks to an investment from Enterprise Mobility, Parents as Teachers continues to make an outsized impact in communities through our Investing in the Power of Families initiative. Over the past year, our Challenge Grant initiative supported affiliates in restoring families’ enrollment numbers, increase direct services of needed mental and physical health supports to families and grow opportunities within communities that can lead to systemic positive changes in communities where Parents as Teachers affiliates are located.
