Student Parent Ally Certificate Program
The Student Parent Ally Certificate Program is a self-paced, online learning experience designed to help higher education and nonprofit professionals better support student parents. Through six interactive courses, participants explore the data, policies, people, and cultural factors that shape the student parent experience, gaining practical tools and real-world insight along the way.
At the end of the program, you’ll create your own action plan to spot areas for improvement, connect with the right people, and take clear steps to better support student parents.
Hear from one of our higher ed partners:
“It wasn’t until we worked with Generation Hope, FamilyU, that we pulled the data and were surprised by the number of student parents we had... Using this data, we advocated for a family-friendly space on a campus where space is scarce.”
