Empower families with best in class curriculum and support.

About Our Partners

AP-OD partners with over 500 organizations nationwide including nonprofits, schools, researchers, and even Sesame Street. Together, we are on track to serve over 1 million families, making a positive impact on the lives of parents and children nationwide.

Our partners are trusted organizations who — like us — honor and serve families. Those who offer AP-OD’s curriculum go through a comprehensive certification process to become AP-OD facilitators. Our curriculum is easy to adopt. It reflects the culture and realities of diverse families, draws from real-life experiences, and offers valuable resources that families can trust. Our curriculum can be adapted into any language.

How Partnership Works

Acquire the evidence-based curriculum.

Our curriculum includes master training for Facilitators, technical support, materials and learning aids, and ongoing partnership with AP-OD National – a cost-effective acquisition with a high return on investment. Many partners deliver AP-OD locally for years, documenting and leveraging its impact to increase resources for ongoing work.

Send staff, practitioners, and parent leaders to AP-OD Institutes to be certified.

Prepare your team to deliver the family engagement program locally. You gain Facilitators with solid skills in popular education – valuable professional development useful across many activities in a diverse, family-serving organization. Facilitators are trained to deliver AP-OD’s 10 interactive sessions.

Adapt, innovate, and apply what works best.

Customize courses for the AP-OD program in your community. Our curriculum reflects the culture and realities of diverse families and incorporates data about local schools and services. It works best when connected to local opportunities, advocacy efforts, and resources.

Join the AP-OD national network of partners.

Join our network of organizations that honor and invest in the leadership of parents, build around their existing strengths, and see them lead the way to positive outcomes for their young children. Partners report long-term family engagement as a result of the AP-OD program as parents find an “organizational home” and extended opportunities for community leadership.

Get Started Now

Contact AP-OD National to learn how your organization or school can participate in a three-day AP-OD Institute to acquire the program for ongoing use, leverage and grow it within your own context, and join an active national network dedicated to building parent leaders.

If you already have the program, but want training in the most recent modules (early math, positive technology, Kindergarten transition, the impact tool, and more), AP-OD offers a two-day Institute.
