Second Mile Programs

Parent Initiative

WHO WE ARE & HISTORY

Parent Initiative began in 1993 after Second Mile staff and other community members recognized a need for increased parent involvement in our Title I schools in Huntsville, Alabama. With a goal to build relationships and community through the empowerment of parents, the Parent Initiative Program provides educational training, support and volunteer opportunities for parents in the schools. We began in Terry Heights Elementary, and then expanded to 12 Title I elementary schools. We continue to support, consult and work in the schools and partner with Huntsville City Schools to meet the "No Child Left Behind" parent involvement requirements.
