About Us – Parents On A Mission

Successful children and safer communities start with parent leadership in the home.

Parents on a Mission is a parent leadership movement that aims to equip parents and parent mentors to win the heart, mind, and loyalty of their children.

One of the biggest myths that prevents parents from playing a key role in the life of their child is that “it takes a village to raise a child.” But while community programs and interventions can certainly play a positive role in the life of a child, research continues to show us that the role and value of an engaged parent is irreplaceable.

When parents become stronger and more emotionally mature as individuals, they’re more likely to nurture strong, healthy relationships with their children. That’s why our curriculum and trainings get to the root of the issues that equip and empower parents to become strong leaders in their household — things like self-esteem, confidence, and forgiveness from past hurts.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Richard R. Ramos

Overcoming the obstacles of barrio youth gangs, drugs and violence, Richard R. Ramos has devoted his career to serving Latino youth & families.

Richard spent his early career as a correctional officer, a Juvenile Hall instructor, a junior high and high school counselor, and a co-founder and director of a gang intervention and prevention coalition.

But it wasn’t until he started making home visits that his eyes were opened to the levels of dysfunction, disrespect, and lack of trust the youth he served were going home to every day. It was then where he realized that no matter how much time, attention, and resources were spent on the youth, both the problems and solutions started with the parents. Since then, Richard has devoted a large part of his career to serving youth by empowering their parents to play a more positive, meaningful role in their lives.

Richard is the President of a national intermediary nonprofit, the Latino Coalition for Community Leadership, providing funding to nonprofits in marginalized communities. He is a published author, and a national leader in the field of gang & youth violence prevention. Over his 30 years of community service, he has received several accolades and awards including recognition by the White House Administration, The United States Congress, The California State Assembly, and induction into Morehouse College’s Martin Luther King, Jr. International Chapels Board.
