Designed to support parents and families in high-needs districts.
Serving the Community Since 2000
"At Urban Parent to Parent, we offer a range of programs designed to support parents and families in high-needs districts. Our approach is rooted in the tradition of kinship, where families, advocates, and communities work together to ensure every child has access to quality education and resources."
UP2P is a resource for:
- Community events & workshops
- Cultural activities
- Advocacy services
- Things going in the community
- Individualized Education Program (IEP)
Policy Equity
We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment that celebrates and respects the unique contributions of each individual.
Kinship Connection
We help create pathways to stability, belonging, and opportunity by supporting kinship families through advocacy, education, and community connections that enrich lives and strengthen generations.
Educational Justice
At Urban Parent to Parent, we help parents understand each step of the IEP process, ensuring that a student’s Individualized Education Program truly reflects their unique needs and that schools fully follow through on the services and supports provided.
Knowledge Building
The IEP Advocacy Knowledge Base empowers families, caregivers, and advocates with the information, tools, and resources needed to navigate special education services. Through accessible guidance, educational materials, and practical support.
Urban Parent to Parent IEP advocacy involves supporting students (and their family) in the special education process so the student receives a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under IDEA. We help ensure services, accommodations, goals, and placement are appropriate, measurable, and actually implemented.
