The Parent Engagement Program (PEP) is a community collaboration for
parents that is led by PEP coordinators of Good Hope Tutoring Services,
LLC (GHTS). PEP is designed to help parents become full partners in their
children’s education through social-emotional learning, community
collaboration, and much more. The Parent Engagement Program (PEP) aims
to align with Baltimore County Public Schools to foster parent outreach and
engagement under Good Hope Tutoring Services (GHTS) student
mentorship and tutoring programs. PEP will provide community outreach
opportunities, valuable resources, and general support to parents. The
primary goal of PEP is to assist parents in developing positive relationships
with their children, increase self-awareness, acquire healthy family
dynamics, and connect to the community.

GHTS will first support our parents by making sure that they know the
resources available to them by BCPS, such as "Parent University." GHTS
understands that it is vital that parents connect with the resources available
directly from the source of their child's learning.
GHTS mentoring program through PEP will partner with BCPS to further
expand parent outreach and engagement efforts to include:

​

• Relational capacity activities: small group and large-scale parent
  community talks to continuously strengthen trust in GHTS and BCPS

• Training opportunities: opportunities would range from mindfulness
  activities to technology-related tutorials (How to use Google
  Classroom, Zoom, etc.)

• Community awareness: provide community service opportunities for
  parents and their children

• General support: build a positive relationship between parents and
  their children to ensure success mentally, socially, academically
