The Parent Leadership in State Government (PLISG) Initiative offers an introductory 3-day leadership training recommended for parents (biological, kinship, adoptive, foster, or legal guardian) of children ages birth through 18 who desire to learn new skills which can help them use their voice to impact program planning and policy development on a local, regional, or state board or committee.

Throughout the training, parents learn alongside other parents in this informative and interactive training which will help inspire and motivate you to get involved!

Do you have an interest growing as a Parent Leader? Parent Leadership in State Government (PLISG) and Michigan Family to Family (MI F2F) have partnered together to create Growing as Leaders, a new online educational leadership series.
