Parent Information and Resource Center
PIRC serves parents in every county of Alabama providing training, information and support to parents of children in low performing schools and annual regional Parent Leadership training. - More -
Academy for Parent Leadership and Engagement
The APLE Academy consists of one orientation session and five one day sessions over the course of one academic year.
Participants are teams of parents and teachers who will enhance their skills so they may help others become true partners in the
education of their children. Every participant works with their school community to create a leadership
project. - More -

parents of special needs students. We train Parent Leaders across the state to work with other parents to improve the

Fathers Forward
The APEC's Fatherhood Initiative Program, generously funded by the Children's Trust Fund of Alabama, was designed to reduce childhood abuse and neglect by encouraging the increased involvement of fathers. - More -
The Alabama Parent Education Center (APEC) is a non-profit organized by parents in central Alabama. We were formed to provide parents with training and information to help them become meaningful participants in their children's education.
We operate projects such as the Alabama Network for
Children with Disabilities and the Alabama Statewide Parent Information and Resource Center. A full list of current projects is in the right sidebar.
Our Mission
We believe that parents have the greatest impact on their children's lives. APEC provides families with the training, information and support they need to help them ensure that their children become productive, well-educated citizens.
Special Thanks to Our Corporate Sponsors!
APEC has received over $6,000 from the Coca Cola Bottling Company and over $2,000 in contributions from The Book Basket. Buffalo Rock Bottling Company has just created a partnership with APEC to provide refreshments to families in our workshops. Smokey Bones BBQ, Office Depot, and Pizza Hut are also sponsors who support our projects.
A special thanks to all of our many donors! We depend on their support to
continue our work. If you are interested in supporting our program in any way, click here or call our office at
