Manhattan UFT – Come to a free conference this weekend for parents and caregivers

Learn how to advocate for your child with fellow parents and caregivers from around the city

You’re invited to the UFT’s annual fall parent conference! Parents, caregivers and community members from all boroughs are welcome. As always, we’ll have speakers, a resource fair, giveaways, breakfast and lunch, entertainment, surprises and workshops on topics of interest to public school parents and caregivers. We’ll also have translation services available upon request. It’s going to be a fun and productive day. I hope to see you there.
