The Parent Education Consortium is a resource available to any parent of young children. Parenting classes are an investment in personal growth and an investment in your child’s future. The benefits of participating in a parenting class will last a lifetime.

It is through the use of Linn County Community Empowerment funds that the PEC is able to provide parents and caregivers of young children in our community:
