A ready-to-go campaign to improve student success.

Be There is a research-based, multimedia campaign designed to inspire parents to become more involved in their children’s education. Be There is not a program or a curriculum.  It’s a complete, ready-to-go package produced by Voss & Associates and given to school districts at no cost, except for optional printing and duplication of localized materials.

The Be There campaign consists of a variety of components, which can be personalized to your district. Many of the participating districts have contributed ideas for new materials, so the choices keep growing.

The new Be There website is now a go-to site for parents as well as educators seeking information on parent involvement issues. They can communicate with each other, read the latest articles, link to other parent sites and share stories of their Be There moments.

Another newly expanded feature is the DVD, which consists of inspirational stories based on everyday issues parents face with their children. The stories can be watched on a DVD, from the website, in a school or on a broadcast television program.

The campaign is expanding exponentially throughout the U.S. and into Canada. Many are finding it an easy fit into their parent involvement goals.  Your district can help make connecting with children the new norm in this country by implementing the Be There campaign in your area.
