Our Mission

CT Parent Power is a parent-led organization with a mission to engage, educate and mobilize parents to act on children's issues.  We work to make sure that parents are informed, mobilized, and ready to act.  To do this, we bring timely, clear, and accurate information to Connecticut parents and deliver meaningful opportunities for parents to take action on children's issues.  We provide training on how and when to take action as well as connections with other people statewide who are ready to protect and benefit children.

Our Priorities

As parents, we seek to strengthen a collective parent voice on the many statewide decisions affecting our children and families.  Every other year, we conduct a statewide Parent Issue Survey.  Based on the results of that survey we create policy priorities, for which we advocate for two years.  Currently, these priorities are health care, early care and education and schools.

Our Membersctppmembers

CT Parent Power is a parent-led organization and our membership includes teachers, school administrators, small business operators, health care providers and hundreds of community leaders concerned about children and family issues.  CT Parent Power has a membership of 2600 CT residents drawn from 110 towns. 

Delegate Communities

Delegate Communities are communities that have built teams of CT Parent Power Delegates, Members and community leaders to build a voice for families on local and state issues.   Parent Power Delegates link with local parents to represent their interests in the priority setting and decision-making within the statewide organization.  Currently, Delegate Communities include Danbury, East Hartford, Hartford, Meriden, Middletown, New Britain, New Haven, Norwalk, Norwich, Prospect, Vernon, Wallingford, Waterbury, West Hartford, Willimantic.
