Parent & Family Education
Help families support the student, not just worry about them.
Parents often know the least about the organizations their students are joining, at exactly the moment questions matter most. MemberPrep's parent and family courses explain what membership involves, what healthy and unhealthy experiences look like, and how families can support their student.
What We Provide
- A learning path for parents of future members covering values, risk and wellness.
- Hazing warning signs and how families can respond.
