The Parent Leadership Coalition (PLC) was formed in 2002.
It is a collaboration of 10 statewide agencies that train parent leaders
across Georgia. The Coalition decided to build and support parent
leaders across the state in a manner that would bring local leaders and
parents together to meet the varying needs of each Georgia County.
Currently, there are 24 local navigator teams established. However,
the goal is to establish teams in all 159 counties in Georgia.
 A
navigator team is a group of individuals who live in a county of
Georgia. The team and its leader(s) are parents who have
experience in accessing services. The navigator team may also
include professionals who want to assist and be a resource to
families. The navigator team has several roles that they are asked
to play in their community. These include the following:
-
Be a point of contact for information
-
Be familiar with resources in the community
-
Access web based resource information for families using the
Parent to Parent Roadmap to Services and database
-
Provide local resource information to be added to the database
-
Reach out to families in the county who are un-served or
underserved
-
Link families with both formal and informal supports based on
their needs
-
Identify issues that are concerns in the local community
-
Listen to family concerns and provide information to them about
their topics of interest
-
Make sure the needs of families are known in the local community
Navigator teams are reaching out to all families of young children
from birth-five and to families of school aged children with
special needs.
