What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Parents in the USA too often lack support and have inadequate funds, information, and advocacy resources for the parents and their children. By coming together through ParentsUSA, parents will be a force in guiding and establishing public policy and laws, in helping other parents and their children, who through no fault of the children are in need, and in garnering discounts and benefits that are desired or needed. Together, parents helping other parents and their children and protecting their own families while doing so!

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Litigation and Appellate Advocacy for Parents and their Children

ParentsUSA carefully screens requests for legal assistance and, in select cases where a child has not been harmed and was not at risk of harm and where the Constitutional rights of one or both parents was infringed, ParentsUSA will provide pro bono legal assistance or will participate in an appeal as a friend of the court (amicus curiae).

ParentsUSA also provides policy positions to media and to policy makers such as legislators and, in doing so, only relies upon the U. S. Constitution as interpreted by the U. S. Supreme Court. ParentsUSA supports the Constitutional right of parents to decide for their children so long as not causing harm.

Population(s) Served
Parents
Children and youth

ParentsUSA supports other 501(c)(3) charities who help children and their parents.

Population(s) Served
Families

Students whose families meet certain financial criteria often are provided free or discounted meals at their schools. But not always AND, even if discounted, schools bill the parents many of whom simply cannot pay. That's where ParentsUSA™ steps in and covers those bills so no student is deprived of a meal or given an alternative meal and no student is embarrassed about either the otherwise outstanding bill or how the student is treated in the school cafeteria.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
