How are parents involved?El Centrito is committed to actively involving parents by training and developing parents as local leaders - Promotores. The Promotors are building their own capacity and power at the grassroots level, and empower other parents to act on behalf of their community. Promotores training has been conducted by Santa Ana Parent leaders who have experience in recruiting, training, and organizing Latino parents to engage meaningfully in schools and learn about early college preparation, college options, and financial aid. The program followes a train-the-trainer model with continued mentoring and coaching beyond the intensive three day training program. The Promotors delivere the message through conducting home visits, connecting with existing neighborhood networks, and hosting informal community dialogues. The home visits and informational meetings also include a component regarding how parents can learn to challenge the school system and address inequalities in education.
