Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE)

Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) is a national organization focused on empowering families to actively engage in their children's education and strengthening parent-school-community partnerships. Founded in 1987, PIQE has reached approximately 1.5 million children in its 32-year history, particularly benefiting communities of color, English Learners, immigrants, and low-income families. Their family engagement program has demonstrated significant impact, with a recent longitudinal study indicating that children of PIQE graduates achieve higher high school graduation and college attendance rates. The organization's successful replication across 15 states and delivery in sixteen different languages underscores its scalability and effectiveness in diverse settings. PIQE's commitment to care economy and education aligns with growing societal needs and presents substantial potential for further expansion and impact.
