PARENT ENGAGEMENT

Listening sessions with parents and alumnae were an important opportunity for Baldwin to engage with community members and learn from their perspectives and lived experiences around issues of DEI. These conversations inspired much of the work underway for our students and teachers, as well as a number of new programs for the wider community.

The Baldwin School Parents’ Association chose the Baldwin DEI Fund as a priority for the largest parent-fundraising event. The parents’ tremendous support will help fund DEI programs that include speakers and special events. The Parents of Black Students Association, newly formed in 2020-21 by parents, launched an impactful workshop series called Courageous Conversations: By Parents, For Parents. The group also organizes a number of events to celebrate Black History Month. Students, parents and community members came together for performances and facilitated conversations.
