The Parents of Students of Color, more commonly known as P.S.O.C., welcomes you!
PSOC is a group of parents/guardians that work collaboratively with the Home & School Association to support families of color by fostering open communication between parents and the School. Our focus is to ensure that families of color feel empowered and included as equal members of the Friends’ Central community. 

Some of PSOC’s work entails organizing social events, and helping with workshops particularly those focusing on issues surrounding race, diversity, equity,  and inclusion. Our Co-clerks meet with various FCS community stakeholders regularly in an effort to ensure that the unique needs and voices of families of color are understood and valued. PSOC also hosts meetings for parents throughout the school year that provide us an opportunity to share our collective experiences as families of color at Friends’ Central School. 

Please be on the lookout for forthcoming invitations to future PSOC hosted events throughout the year. 

Thank you.

Parents of Students of Color Co-clerks

Mission Statement
The Parents of Students of Color (PSOC) have come together in the School’s belief that “each human life is uniquely valuable and interrelated one with another”.  Our purpose is to foster more open communication within the school community between administration, faculty, staff, parents and children.  We support efforts to develop greater understanding and an awareness of the needs and values of children of color and the empowering of children of color within the Friends Central School community as part of a unified whole.
