Alumni Membership
Purpose of Alumni Membership
COPLTI alumni are not only graduates of a program — they are part of a growing parent leadership network committed to strengthening families, elevating community voice, and transforming communities.
Alumni members help shape the direction of Transforming Communities and Central Ohio Parent Leadership Training Institute by participating in member meetings, identifying community priorities, sharing feedback on program direction, supporting issue-based campaigns, and helping develop future parent leaders.
As the alumni network grows, members may also participate in leadership committees, advisory groups, and annual planning sessions.
Through the $25 annual alumni membership, graduates continue to participate in leadership development, community projects, issue discussions, advocacy opportunities, and member-driven planning that helps
