The Strengthening the Family workshops are designed for eighth-grade parents and students to explore adolescent issues, parent involvement, communication, advocacy, responsibility, and cultural diversity. An additional follow-up session is offered during the student’s sophomore year. The workshops also provide an introduction to EIP culture/family, academics, self-image, and socialization, and encourage a positive attitude about school and college. STF is offered in a Saturday session as a 9:00 am - 5:00 pm commitment. On-site child care services are provided FREE of charge to allow families with younger children to participate.
