What is the Parent Engagement Collaborative Action Network?
In collaboration with the National Parent Leadership Institute, the Parent Engagement Collabortaive Action Network (PECAN) is the table where parents come together to inform systems level change for improvments in cradle to career outcomes.
Our Mission
We will achieve this using a collective impact approach. No one individual or business can accomplish significant change by themselves. By working together, funders, providers, and staff are focused on a common agenda. Our efforts are based on evidence-based practice and measured by ROC the Future Annual Report Cards Collectively, we can and will create opportunities for success for every child, from cradle to career.
