Participants were encouraged to bring their parents to the first ever Parent Engagement workshop. In this workshop, parents listen to the many benefits CPC had to offer, and get a good sense of what their kid was doing in ISY. Food was provided and interaction between parents and staff were encouraged.
The staffs introducing themselves to the parents was not an easy task. Because of the many languages, translators were a must. After this, parents listen to a representative from many of the programs CPC had to offer, like the project gateway, which offers college counseling services. Parents then looked at the many pictures and artworks ISY had collected over the past few months. Lastly, participant and parents took a Polaroid picture together to add on to the ISY collection of photos.
