How does it work?BLACK Lemonade for All (BLFA) utilizes an empowerment curriculum to guide and support intentional conversations about current challenges facing parents of school-age children. Building upon their individual and collective strength, parents discover new ways to think differently about themselves, their children and their future. Using culture as a lens, they begin to envision an active family-based community in which they can thrive and grow. Participants acquire skills and tools to “squeeze success out of life’s circumstances.” The expected outcomes include:• Reinforcement of effective parenting skills for home and school. • Promotion of effective home-school communications techniques. • Introduction to student performance monitoring routines. • Adoption and practice of empowered parenting routines • Participants committed to model routines for other parents.
