NJ charter school parents train to become advocates at Newark event

The New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association (NJPCSA) celebrated the third year of its Parent Ambassador Program with an event in Newark, uniting parents, educators, and charter school supporters. The program empowers parents to advocate for their children’s education and engage directly with elected officials. “Our parents are the most powerful voices for their children’s education,” said NJPCSA’s Galen Johnson. With 86 charter schools serving over 63,000 students statewide, NJPCSA aims to expand the program to strengthen parent voices across New Jersey.
