Creating Connections: Fall 2017 lineup

Helping you be the change you want to see

We’re happy to announce that we are expanding our training and networking opportunities for The King County Parent and Family Coalition and inviting Parent to Parent families and self-advocates to explore new civic engagement opportunities.

Please join us! We have three great classes lined up for September, including Special Needs Financial Planning (Sept. 11), Advocating for the Individual (Sept. 12), and Let's Talk: Into Adulthood (Sept. 23).

Each month, we will host three events - one each in Federal Way, Bellevue and North Seattle. And each month, we will offer three types of classes: An Access workshop to help you learn about services; a Skills class to build your civic engagement toolbox; and a Let’s Talk event where we explore issues by sharing expertise and identifying advocacy areas.
