Parenting Success Network Now Available in Spanish


The Parenting Success Network website is now available in Spanish as well as English, thanks to the generosity of the Greater Albany Public Schools, which contributed many hours to make the translation possible.

The network website is a “one-stop shop” that brings together local information and resources to make parenting easier for families in Linn and Benton counties. The site includes information about parenting education opportunities, a calendar of classes and events, descriptions and links to family serving agencies and a blog where new parenting tips are posted weekly.

The site, found at www.parentingsuccessnetwork.org, also includes information for parenting educators. The same information, as well as parenting advice, also is available by calling 541-917-4899.

The network is working to boost parents’ awareness of their services this fall through billboards sporting catchy phrases and humorous pictures. Two boards will be displayed for a month along Hwy 34 and two will be on Pacific Blvd, with one board in Spanish.

Posters and bookmarks marketing the website also are now available in both English and Spanish. New for this year, the posters include the “Find us on Facebook” icon and a QR code so people with smart phones can connect directly to the website. Posters and bookmarks are available for distribution and can be obtained by contacting Cyrel Gable at Cyrel.gable@linnbenton.edu or 541-917-4909.

The Parenting Success Network is a coalition of organizations dedicated to expanding and coordinating parenting education in the Linn-Benton region. In addition to creating easy access to parenting information through the website and phone line, network partners collaborate to make more parenting education classes and workshops available.

The project is funded by a grant from the Oregon Parenting Education Collaborative, which includes The Collins Foundation, The Ford Family Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, Oregon Community Foundation and Oregon State University. It is facilitated by LBCC’s Parenting Education Department.
