Franklin Parents Centre is one of 52 centres across the country. We provide one of the largest parenting networks and support for parents and their children up to the age of 6 years old. We provide a wide range of support and education in the community across all aspects of parenting. The programmes we offer assist all parents with children of various ages and stages of development.
In addition to our parent education courses we also run a range of socially interactive events and sessions for new parents, people new to area or people just wanting to meet other people who share common interests. These include special interest evenings such as cooking classes, toilet training and first aid training.
If you are looking for a rewarding challenge to work within a team environment and have some spare time, then you could make an ideal volunteer.

Volunteering opportunities include:

Everyone seems to have an opinion on parenting! When friends and family, experts and society all have conflicting advice on how to deal with parenting challenges, it can be hard deciding what’s right for your child and your whānau.
Our great parenting programmes are all based on the very latest research and designed to empower parents so that you can make informed choices with confidence.
