The Family Friendly Campus Toolkit

Overview of Toolkit Contents

The Family Friendly Campus Toolkit: Using Data to Improve Outcomes is an award-winning self-assessment system and guide for improving supports and outcomes for students who are raising children. It is intended for those in higher education—staff, faculty, and students—who want to improve outcomes and conditions for student parents and others. The Toolkit offers a flexible process and set of tools designed to be used in any institution.

While the Toolkit elements can be helpful as stand-alone documents, the Toolkit is most often used to guide a self-assessment process leading to recommendations for change. Student parents should be involved in any efforts. Although staff and faculty have more flexibility and ability to make changes, student parents are the true experts on what is needed, and their/your participation is essential.
