GIVING UNHEARD PARENTS A VOICE
TO POSTIVELY CHANGE THEIR OWN COMMUNITES
Many of our students have complex needs, but very often have no one available to advocate for those needs. For this reason, they are often a forgotten population that we simply lock away because we don’t know how to effectively address their educational needs. The Memphis Shelby County Crime Commission released new information about crimes committed by juveniles, revealing that there was a 42% increase in the number of juveniles charged with crimes and a 29% increase in the number of juveniles who were charged for delinquent acts. One way or another, we will pay for these students. We will either pay for effective educational solutions, or we will pay to maintain them in prison. The cost to these students and to society at large is exponentially higher for the latter.
UnPack is a free 8 week whole family parent & child program designed to educate and provide parents with the tools needed to actively participate in improving public education in our city. We encourage all concern community members to join the movement, get educated and use your voice!
