#PLTI

Applications are open for the Hawaiʻi Parent Leadership Training Institute’s (PLTI) upcoming cohort through Aug. 31, 2024, announced the Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network. The PLTI cohort is open to anyone who cares about the well-being of children.

Applications are being accepted for the Parent Leadership Training Institute that teaches Maui parents and caregivers how they can become leaders in their communities.

The Hawaiʻi Parent Leadership Training Institute helps participants become strong, confident community leaders by developing their leadership, communication and advocacy skills. The 20-week program is the only one of its kind in the state. Through PLTI, participants identify issues that impact children and practice their new skills by completing hands-on projects in their own communities.

“I am a stronger leader for my children and my community because of PLTI,” said Brandee Carvalho, a PLTI alum and Maui resident. “I am confident to be a parent leader, and I’m excited to share with other parents and my community all that I’ve learned.”
