A free picnic for skaters that enhances relationships between our
police and skating youth.
KidsMatter’s Initiative that Empowers Influential
Parents to Raise Resilient Kids within Strong Families
Your Digital Footprint Matters!
Combating Bullying & Raising Cyber-Awareness!
(October)
A month-long series focused on raising responsible digital citizens.

KidsMatter Volunteer Fair
(Annual Fall Event)

service opportunities.
Naperville Area Youth Service Awards
(Annual November Event)
Recognizes youth who demonstrate service to their community
and world. Students are honored by the Mayor and City Council,
KidsMatter and other community leaders.
ParentsMatterToo is an initiative coordinated by KidsMatter,
including representatives from schools, faith communities and
businesses. This Initiative empowers a Network of Connected
Parents who are committed to providing nonjudgmental
opportunities to share struggles, provide support, and ultimately
strengthen the fabric of our families - providing hope for a
healthy tomorrow.
Our Goal: To offer parents a safe environment to ask questions,
discuss at-risk situations and be strengthened to challenge our
children’s choices about drugs, alcohol, anxiety, depression,
bullying, cybercrime, and other at-risk behaviors.
Why? ParentsMatterToo has been created in response to the
heroin overdoses that resulted in 83 deaths in DuPage County
between 2012 and 2013. Research from parent focus groups
reveals that parents prefer seeking help anonymously online or
from other parents before reaching out to professional service.
That research resulted in the creation of ParentsMatterToo.
To join a Parent Conversation Circle, contact
[email protected]. Check out “Ask The Expert”
questions on a variety of at-risk issues impacting youth:
www.ParentsMatterToo.org.
KidsMatter Job Fair
(Annual Spring Event)
Prepares youth for the workforce by providing them with the
tools they need to be successful in their job search – as well as
connecting them to employment opportunities.

Home Depot
This exciting interactive parent resource
offers 3 services:
The ParentsMatterToo.org “Ask The Expert” Website
Listen to local professionals answer questions about drugs,
alcohol, bullying, school work, anxiety, depression, and other
issues impacting our children. Anonymous questions will be
addressed by a highly-qualified professional. Current research
and links to the most trusted national experts are provided. This
online information empowers parents to be the informed, positive
influence their children need.
Parent Conversation Circles-Empowering Parents to
challenge their children’s choices
Sign up to join in meaningful conversation focused on important
questions parents are asking: What do I need to KNOW to be an
effective parent? What do I need to SAY to my child? What do I need
to DO to be the parent I want to be?
Guided small groups are being held in coffee shops, faith
communities, schools, business board rooms, and other locations
where parents feel comfortable gathering. Conversation Circles
are opportunities for parents to share life experiences, discuss
parenting situations, and gain knowledge and support.
Speakers: The ParentsMatterToo website shares a calendar of
information that lists upcoming speakers and events focused
on opportunities for parents to become knowledgeable,
influential, and armed with skills to effectively challenge our
children’s choices.
