ParentJobNet, Inc.

ParentJobNet was founded in December 2004 by a New York City public school mother. The organization is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity, established on the premise that empowering low- to moderate-income public school parents with the skills and resources needed to obtain jobs, enhance their careers, improve literacy, and achieve greater financial knowledge will put them in a better position to help themselves and their school-age children financially, emotionally, and academically.The organization’s mission is an entirely “holistic, integrated family approach” to assist parents to navigate the hurdles associated with finding jobs and establishing careers, becoming financially self-sufficient, and improving their living conditions by identifying their various economic challenges and providing the support to help achieve economic balance and/or success.In addition, housing our programs in public schools allows parents to become more engaged in school as adult learners and more empowered to become involved in their children’s school lives.
