Parents Engaging Parents (PEP), Inc. held a New Jersey statewide, Virtual Conference “Week Of Engagement”, composed of Parents and Community Leaders from the Civic, Private and Public sectors to bring awareness and empowerment relating to Social Justice, Education, Health and Economics. Holding true to its mission, Parents Engaging Parents (PEP), Inc. utilized its platform on the “Week of Engagement” to promote civic awareness and proactive community advocacy based on the interest of parents and guardians.
