Our Values

  • Parents are Assets

    Parents are assets and experts on issues affecting children.

  • Nurturing Community

    PLTI-KC fosters a nurturing community built through deep and meaningful relationships that supports parents and their advocacy efforts.

  • Stronger through Diversity

    The diversity of our community cultivates understanding, accountability, and inclusion. PLTI-KC brings together parents across differences (e.g., race, zip code, age, culture).

  • Parents’ Agenda is Our Agenda

    PLTI-KC is nonpartisan. We don’t tell parents which children’s issues to care about or advocate for; they tell us.

  • Two-Generational for Lasting Change

    The civic activism of PLTI parent leaders influences their children & grandchildren, who become leaders and advocates in their own right.
