Natural Leaders serve as multicultural bridges between students, families, communities, and schools.  

Too often, language and cultural barriers leave many families feeling lost in the school environment. An innovative leadership program, Natural Leaders, works to engage and empower families. We equip Natural Leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to build relationships with other families and ensure they have a voice in their school communities.

Natural Leaders Program Focus for the 2025-2026 School Year:

1. Community Building: Foster strong, trusting relationships between families, schools, and the broader community to create a sense of belonging and shared purpose. 
2. Leadership Development: Support and uplift family leadership rooted in cultural wealth, lived experience, and community strengths. 
3. Cultural Representation:  Celebrate and elevate the diverse cultures within our district to promote inclusion, awareness, and equity. 
4. School System Navigation: Equip families with the knowledge and tools to confidently navigate the K–12 system and key transitions in their scholar’s educational journey.
