This program is designed to educate parents to the ever-changing youth culture. Symposiums are designed to help parents understand the myriad of outside influences potentially affecting their children and ways they can become more involved in their children's lives.

Speakers will visit classrooms for a personal question and answer time with your students. Sessions are designed to address the tough issues facing today’s youth or can be tailored to a classroom agenda to meet specific requests.
