Noon | Virtual

The Missouri Parents as Teachers Association (MOPATA) is pleased to welcome Jessica Jobe, Teens as Parents Coordinator, and Debbie Lakin for a timely and meaningful learning opportunity focused on supporting teen parents across Missouri.

Strengthening Teen Engagement will explore practical strategies, real-world insights, and statewide resources that help parent education programs connect with teen parents in authentic and effective ways. Participants will gain tools to better understand the unique needs of teen families, build trust, and strengthen engagement so programs can meet families where they are and support long-term success.

This session is designed for parent educators, supervisors, and program leaders who want to deepen their impact with teen parents and strengthen partnerships that support young families.

Join us for an engaging conversation that blends experience, strategy, and actionable takeaways you can use right away in your program.
