We’re looking for passionate leaders!
Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE) partners and supports families, schools, and communities throughout the country positively impacting the educational outcomes of millions of students since 1987. In 2018, San Diego State University conducted a longitudinal study and found that students, whose parents graduated from PIQE’s Family Engagement Education programs, graduated high school at a higher rate and enrolled in college or university at higher rates than peers with similar backgrounds statewide in California. Our dedicated, mission-driven team cares deeply about the individual needs of each family, school, community, and each other. Together, our nine offices across California foster a collaborative approach internally and externally to ensure all our connections are unique and welcoming.
Join us and be part of the legacy!
