Engage Positive Parenting Initiative

Equipping the Next Generation to Advance and Grow through Education, Example, & Encouragement 

Our vision is to encourage and inspire parents across the nation to engage with their children in a loving way, and to equip their children to discover their God-given gifts and talents. Engage is a participatory initiative, approaching parenting topics through dialogue and discussion rather than simply instruction. Using a discussion-style format, our goal is to strengthen and enrich the parent's responsibility in the home.  As parents, we have the opportunity to impact the next generation with our words, actions, and example.  Our role is significant in society, and our responsibilities as parents can make a positive difference in the lives of our children.  As we facilitate the discussion, we empower parents to create practical action steps and encourage their engagement with their children.

One Mom's comment about Engage:

To Mrs. Karol, Thank you for all of your love and support.  Because of this class I am able to communicate and discipline my kids in a positive way and because of that our relationship has gotten better.  I have also taken the techniques you taught us (prayer and communication) and used it with in my marriage and because of that things have gotten better.  I really appreciate God and you, He couldn't have sent us a better instructor. --Mom from Buckner

And other comments about the Engage program:

  • Thank you so much for taking your time out to help others with parenting, it really was a blessing to have this opportunity.  I’ve ganed a lot of knowledge and will be able to improve my parenting.  May God bless you with many more to bless. Xoxoxo
  • -  This program was very eye-opening and helpful. I learned so much about what kind of a parent I am and what I can do to be an even better parent.  I feel like both my child and myself have benefitted from coming to this class.
  • -  I want to thank you all, I practiced some of the advice given to me with my children and immediately could see a difference in all of our lives!

Mission

The mission of Engage is to offer positive parenting strategies for men and women, using an unique, discussion-style format.

Our Vision:

To impact generations to come by establishing encouragement and engagement as the new parenting norm.

Our Core Values:

Family- We believe God designed families as the basic strucrure of society; therefore, our core values are founded on Biblical principles.

Engagement - We conduct our class discussions so that everyone has the chance to participate. We value kindness and understanding; all of which promote stimulating and healthy communication within our classroom and within the family.

Education - Discussion-based classes are the heartbeat of Engage and all our activities focus on empowering parents. We do this by creating conversations centered on practical ways to develop a flourishing environment at home. We provide the emotional and mental tools that strengthen and inspire our participants.

Positive relationships - Our programs, our curriculum, and our culture are measured by the positive impact they have on family relationships. Our success is evident when we positively encourage parents and they in turn engage in a healthy and productive relationships with their children.

Needs

We are excited that we are partnering with a number of different community partners to bring parenting classes to their parents.

Therefore we need:

*to print participant booklets in both English and Spanish

*to translate and print curriculum in Spanish thus enabling Engage to facilitate classes with additional community partners.

*to provide craft materials for the Craft and Conversation classes

*to emphasize the importance of good nutrition and family meal time. We need resources to provide crockpots and ingredients for a meal.
