The Partnership for Family Involvement in Education

To encourage businesses, community and religious organizations, and families to support education, the Department of Education administers the Partnership and offers resources, ideas, funding, and conferences relevant to family involvement in education.

National Parent Information Network

The National Parent Information Network (NPIN) is a project of the ERIC system, which is administered by the National Library of Education. The mission of NPIN is to provide access to research-based information about the process of parenting, and about family involvement in education. The site features a Virtual Library, the Parents AskERIC question-answering service and the PARENTING-L electronic discussion list.

National Coalition for Parent Involvement in Education

NCPIE serves as a clearinghouse for resources created by its partners that help build and facilitate effective family-school partnerships. The site features resources organized by audience (parents, teachers, or administrators), as well as by subject and by sponsoring organization. To get to this list, click the link for "NCPIE's Mission" and then the one for "Resources" near the top of the page.

America's Promise

The mission of America's Promise is to mobilize people from every sector of American life to build the character and competence of our nation's youth by fulfilling Five Promises for young people: Caring Adults, Safe Places, Healthy Start, Marketable Skills, and Opportunities to Serve.
