The Parenting Project: Healthy Children, Families, & Communities holds annual in-service events at Cornell University for parent educators and others who work with parents and children across New York State.

The in-service is a two-day event with networking opportunities, professional development workshops, and various academic presentations by Cornell faculty.

In the past, presentation topics have included maternal employment and child well-being, childhood risk and resilience,  using news and social media to promote your county association, using a two generational approach to parent education, changing family forms in the U.S., and engaging low-income fathers.
