The Sankofa Parenting Program is built on a holistic framework that supports families, faith leaders, and communities through three interconnected pillars. Together, these pillars create space for formation, dialogue, learning, and practical application—ensuring families are supported across nuclear, blended, adoptive, and intergenerational family structures.
The program is collaboratively implemented by Metropolitan youth ministry leaders, parents, community-based experts, and trained volunteers, reflecting Sankofa’s commitment to shared leadership and collective wisdom.
