Illinois AfterSchool Network
The Illinois AfterSchool Network Parent Café is a place where parents/caregivers of all types gather and share their stories, their experiences, their worries, their fears, their wisdom, and find community and strength together on a topic of conversation. Through open communication, the Parent Cafe Sessions become places of affirmation where they can learn that they are not alone in their struggles with managing their families and households. Parent Cafes also provide an opportunity to help connect parents to resources to help solve problems they might face.
