One of our early goals with Edgewater Collective was to educate and empower parents to take an active role in their child’s education. Over the past two years we have noticed that the language barrier has hindered our grassroots efforts to build parent networks in our community. For this reason, we have decided to hire a part-time, bi-lingual Community Liaison to connect with Spanish speaking parents and community members.
