The Collective is an independent parent-led organization
How we work. Most of our work happens in class coffees: small, grade-level gatherings where parents talk candidly about phones, social media, and what’s working at home. Each grade at each of our nine schools has parent chapter leaders, who host the coffees and help families find each other, so no family has to be the only one saying no.
