The United Way Parents as Teachers program is a free, evidence-based program available to all, that supports parents and caregivers of children between the ages of 0 and 5 in becoming their child’s first and best teacher. Parent Educators conduct home visits focused on providing parents with guidance about child development through educational and fun activities.

 

The program focuses on ensuring children meet important developmental milestones to improve school readiness. Participants also gain access to a supportive network, unique events, resources and more. The PAT program is a part of the HOPES collaborative led by El Paso Center for Children and partly funded through the OneStar Foundation as an AmeriCorps program. It is the only AmeriCorps Parents as Teachers program in the nation.

VolunteerElPaso.org serves as the bridge between individuals looking to contribute to the community and organizations in need of volunteer support.
