Heading back to school? If you're a student parent, you don't have to navigate the journey alone. With many student parents balancing coursework, jobs, and caregiving responsibilities, knowing where to find support is especially important at the start of a new semester. The Student Parent Resource Hub is a one-stop destination to find and compare resources like child care, basic needs support, family-friendly spaces, and more across California’s public colleges and universities. Explore it here: castudentparentalliance.org/resource-hub

Want to learn how to turn these resources into action and advocacy? Join us at the Ed Equity Forum for the Pre-Forum Session: Student Parent Institute. Register at EdEquityForum.org!
