About
Respect, Protect, Connect Family Leadership Institute
In January 2022 launched our partnership with the Washington State Department of Health and the Washington Youth Sexual Health Innovation and Impact Network (WYSHIIN). The LLNW team got busy planning and emerged the Respect, Protect, Connect Family Leadership Pilot Program, which debuted in July 2022 at River City Church, right in the heart of the Fourth Plain corridor. This bilingual and multigenerational sexual health and relationship workshop allowed local families a safe space to explore these important topics with trusted mentors and facilitators.
Covering topics ranging from unpacking boundaries and dating red flags to the toxicity of machismo and role swapping, participants learned through activities and rich discussion. Facilitator Rodolfo Serna described a moment where one of the mothers in the group shared her expectations and said she felt this was a safe space where she could truly open up. It was during this moment that she began to get emotional. He later called this a “Safe space, Brave space, Sacred space”

The SW Washington Latino Parent Leadership Institute was founded in 2015 by Diana Avalos-Leos and WSU Vancouver Professor Dr. Katherine Rodela in order to promote and help develop the leadership and advocacy of all parents and family caregivers, especially Latino families in our local schools and communities.
The Parent Leadership Institute offers bilingual, culturally responsive leadership workshops for parents in our community with the goal of greater equity and justice for all underserved students and communities of color in the Pacific Northwest.
