Events

Starting March 6, 2026 join us for a FREE family engagement series designed to strengthen blooming families through play, reading, song, dance, and community connection opportunities. We invite YOU and your family to come grow with us! Family Friday will take place every Friday in March, April, and May from 11:00am-12:30pm at Southeast Library 21 Watervliet Avenue Dayton OH 45420.

For the purpose of this training a “parent” is defined as anyone who provides primary care to at least one child. Fathers are highly encouraged to participate.

As a parent, you will be trained in the model of Parent Café for the intent and purpose of organizing and facilitating future parent cafes. This will be a two-day training, March 30 and 31, 2026 taking place from 9:00am-4:00pm at EECS 624 Xenia Avenue Dayton, OH 45410 both days. You must attend both days to become a certified Parent Café coordinator. East End is working hard to provide a stipend for attending the training and also hopes to provide an additional stipend after you complete the first Parent Café. Payment for both would be paid at the conclusion of your first café, which must be hosted within 90 days of the March 2026 training. Stipend funding currently pending.

Please register for the training days here: Parent Cafe Training Registration Form. For questions, please contact Keisha Anderson, EECS Whole Family Coach at 937-409-9087.
