The first Latino Parent Summit, “Improving Our Children’s Future From A Young Age,” was aimed at supporting Latino parents, their families and other leaders through a day of community-based programming, providing the information and resources necessary to improve outcomes for young children.
The Community Foundation, in partnership with the Boulder Valley School District and members of the Dream Big Collaborative, offered the first Latino Parent Summit at Casey Middle School on Saturday, October 8, 2016.
The summit, called “Improving Our Children’s Future From A Young Age,” was aimed at supporting Latino parents, their families and other leaders through a day of community-based programming, providing the information and resources necessary to improve outcomes for young children.

The event was especially meaningful, because it brought together the players who need to come together if the achievement gap is going to close. Latino parents of young children were at the center of it all, and were supported by a vast network of agencies committed to the success of their children.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who worked so hard to ensure a high-quality event.
