Transforming Communities is a newly formed nonprofit built on more than fifteen years of hands-on community leadership and program implementation. Our flagship initiative, the Central Ohio Parent Leadership Training Institute (COPLTI), has empowered families and caregivers to become stronger advocates for their children and communities.
As we grow, we are expanding our impact through Healthy Communities food distribution partnerships, fatherhood engagement initiatives, technology access programs, and climate education efforts that equip families with the tools to build resilient, informed, and sustainable futures.
Built on experience. Designed for the future.

Assist with workshops, parent leadership sessions, and community advocacy training programs.
Support food giveaways, resource events, and outreach efforts that ensure families have access to essential services.

Transforming Communities is built upon the proven impact of the Central Ohio Parent Leadership Training Institute (COPLTI). For more than seven years, COPLTI has equipped parents and caregivers with the tools to engage in civic systems, advocate for their children, and strengthen educational outcomes across their communities.
As we expand, we continue to carry forward this legacy of leadership, engagement, and measurable community impact. Transforming Communities was formed to expand and sustain this work.

“COPLTI reminded me that my voice matters. As a mother and grandmother, I found new purpose and am now leading efforts to help seniors access medical care while continuing my own education.”
“COPLTI gave me the strength, courage, and knowledge to step fully into leadership. I’ve learned that my voice matters — and that real change begins when we choose to use it.”
