Hand in Hand Parenting is a 501c3 that was established over 30 years ago with a goal to help support parents and build resilient families. We see a future where parents worldwide have the tools and support they need to meet their children's core needs for connection, guidance, and recovery from hard times because when families thrive, communities thrive. We achieve this vision by training parent educators and instructors around the globe to teach our approach to parenting by connection, helping parents to better support and connect with their children, and also build support for themselves.
We are seeking a board member, or two, to join our, currently, 10 member Board of Directors. We have an exceptional board with seasoned professionals with backgrounds in consulting, research, finance, and technology. We are looking for new board member with experience in marketing, sales or fundraising to join our organization.
We have just undergone an exhaustive Strategic Planning Process and have approved a new Strategic Plan for tremendous growth and program development over the next 3 years, so it is a very exciting time to be a part of our organization. We hope you will join us in changing the world by helping to support parents across the globe!
While we are headquartered in San Francisco, you can participate from anywhere as our Board and staff is spread across the country in Boston, New York City, St. Louis, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and others.

Mission Statement
Hand in Hand envisions a world where children’s innate instinct to love, to connect, and heal from hard things is protected and nurtured. In this world, children and the adults who care for them grow naturally into leaders who solve problems creatively, foster cooperation and build thriving communities.
Description
Hand to Hand is a global non - profit that helps parents and professionals nurture social-emotional health for themselves and the children in their care. We bring a unique framework to strengthen relationships and grow support systems across families and early childhood educational communities.
Hand in Hand’s approach introduces a paradigm-shifting theory of emotion, translated into 5 simple and concrete tools that can be flexibly integrated into existing family and classroom routines. The tools are designed to help caregivers structure child - led quality time, set limits, access laughter and play, help children recover from big emotional moments, and bring refreshing support for caregivers that protects against burnout and overwhelm. Hand in Hand is taught through a variety of support and training programs led by 200+ Certified Instructors teaching in their communities across the globe.
