Support PLTI’s Expansion to Vallejo

Help Us Bring PLTI to Vallejo

The Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) is coming to Vallejo very soon, and we are asking for your support as we prepare to launch locally.

PLTI of Solano has been serving families in Fairfield for over a decade, equipping adults with the tools and confidence to lead and advocate in their communities. Now, we are expanding that work into Vallejo so more residents can access this opportunity close to home.

PLTI is a free 20-week leadership and civic engagement program for parents, caregivers, and community members who care deeply about children and families. It is not a parenting class. It is a space where adults learn how decisions are made in their community, how to advocate effectively, and how to turn concerns into meaningful action.

Participants gain practical skills such as public speaking, understanding local government, engaging with decision makers, and building community partnerships. Just as important, they build relationships with other adults who are committed to improving outcomes for children and families here in Vallejo.

Accessible for Everyone

We are committed to removing barriers so that any adult who wants to participate can do so. PLTI in Vallejo will include:

• 100% tuition-free leadership training

• Evening classes designed for working adults and parents

• Free childcare

• Free dinner for participants

• Spanish translation services

• Fully accessible venues

We believe leadership development should not depend on income, schedule, or language access.

Impact That Lasts

PLTI does not end after 20 weeks. It is often just the beginning.

Since 2015, PLTI graduates have led impactful projects that strengthen families and communities across Solano County. From youth empowerment to mental health, education access, and immigrant rights, alumni are driving real and lasting change.

The leaders above are among those graduates, who move forward with their own community projects. They join advisory groups, serve on boards, collaborate with schools and city leaders, and advocate for policies that affect children and families. Many remain connected as part of a growing network of leaders across Solano County, continuing to support and uplift one another.

As one participant shared:

"PLTI helped me to improve speaking in public, to trust myself and to open my eyes that I can make a difference in my community. I can make a difference in at least one person's life."

That is the kind of leadership we hope to grow here in Vallejo.

Your Support Matters

With the Vallejo cohort beginning soon, your support will directly help cover facilitation, materials, childcare, meals, translation, and graduation costs. It will ensure this expansion is strong, accessible, and sustainable.

If you believe in building leadership from within our community, we invite you to support bringing PLTI to Vallejo. Your contribution helps create real opportunities for adults to step forward, speak up, and take action for children and families.

We cannot do this without your support. Please help us make this work possible, and know that we truly appreciate any way you choose to contribute.
