This report looks at the establishment of five new Urban League Parent Councils. In gathering information, Research for Action sought to understand how this cohort of Parent Councils built on the knowledge culled through implementation of an earlier wave of Urban League Parent Councils and adapted those learnings to their own situations. RFA’s qualitative approach sought to illuminate the evolution of the Parent Councils and their work through the perspectives of those most closely involved with the Parent Council initiative: national and local program planners, staff, and participants.
