Family Programs

Parent Engagement

We believe that parents and guardians are their children's primary educators, and that youth development is best done in deep, ongoing partnership with families. Parents and extended family provide leadership and build community within the GreenHouse community in countless ways, including:

Weekly & Monthly Parent-Centered Gatherings - Weekly forums in which parents meet to enjoy (sometimes iced) tea to get to know one another more deeply, be equipped to advocate for their children, and vision for the community.

Family Events and Celebrations - Each year the GreenHouse Parents, Teen Leadership, Staff and Board collaborate to host multiple family-based celebrations throughout the year such as our annual Pumpkin Patch and biannual Family Nights to encourage family participation and community engagement.
