Mission Empower is changing up our two part IEP trainings!
We have heard your comments … That you want information and support, as you advocate for your child at school which is convenient for your busy schedule. We are combining the separate 2 part IEP trainings into one Saturday time with an IEP clinic at the end, so you may get your individual questions answered. We plan to hold this session on a quarterly basis. Topics include: how to be an informed decision maker, working with school staff, best practices for inclusion and high expectations, and so much more!
Please join us on Saturday, September 22 at the Mission Empower office from 9:00am – 1:00pm. Registration is mandatory and a light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
See you there!

Mission Empower's Parent Support Group
2018-06-12 18:00 - 19:00
We are appreciative of your interest and your support of Mission Empower and our programs and services. Mission Empower is continuing to expand in the ways that we can support families. One of these ways is through a Parent Support Group.

This will be an opportunity for parents and caregivers to meet in a variety of locations to network, share their stories and hear others stories. It is a way for parents to know they aren’t alone, and that they are a part of a group that they can relate to. We will be hosting an Open House for all who are interested in hearing more about this program.

This event will take place Tuesday, June 12th from 6-7 pm in our office, 1611 Peach St Suite 120, Erie, PA 16501. Come enjoy supportive, fun conversations, activities and tasty refreshments as we share more about this program with you. If you have any questions feel free to call Curtis Jones Jr. at 814.825.0788 Ext. 102 or email at cjones@missionempower.org.
We look forward to seeing you there!
