FEATURED PROGRAM

Parent School Connection

Parent School Connection, a program of Somali Community Services of Seattle (SCSS), seeks to facilitate culturally and linguistically appropriate communication between Somali refugee and immigrant parents of school-aged children, and the educators and administrators in local schools.

SCSS provides interpretation, transportation, and social services for the Somali parents, support and assistance to students, and a much-needed way for teachers and administrators to interact with parents.

As a stakeholder in the community, Parent School Connection proactively seeks to fill specific, individual needs for the education of Somali children and youth in the Seattle area.
