Undoing Racism / White Privilege Agreement* This field is required.FOCS Parent Groups hold space for discussion on race, identity, community, and equity with a foundation of undoing systems of oppression. Our parent groups are not a way to check a diversity box or to debate racism. Racism and white privilege exist. FOCS Community is a place where families of color come to feel safer. We center the narratives of parents of color and those most impacted by oppression. We believe in upholding our value of undoing racism. These are our experiences, and we are sharing the pain, trauma, and liberation of them so we can be equipped with tools to protect and inform our children of color.
63
Data use agreement* This field is required.FOCS reports some demographic data and outcomes to our grantors and in our annual reports for the purposes of program evaluation, accountability, and to increase the likelihood of renewed funding, so that FOCS can continue offering these groups at no cost to parent participants.
