About Parent Project
"Because the tougher it gets to be a kid, the tougher it gets to be a parent!"
Parent Project is the nation’s largest and most effective program for parents dealing with children’s and teens’ destructive behavior. In our 30 years, we have partnered with over 500,000 parents to teach prevention and intervention strategies for destructive behaviors from difficult or out-of-control children. Parent Project has been the subject of numerous academic studies, consistently showing significant improvement in parental knowledge and skills, reduction in youth destructive behavior and increases in expressions of love in the home.

Amongst a wide array of parenting programs, the Parent Project stands apart for the following reasons:
Parent Project was built piece-by-piece by thousands of parents under the leadership of Bud Fry, a Pomona City (Los Angeles County) police officer. Bud recognized the impossibility of “arresting his way” out of poverty, despair and drugs and began working with the parents to understand their daily struggle, testing different basic parenting methodologies and refining those that worked.
Because it was designed from the onset to tackle the hardest challenges of drugs, youth violence and gangs, Parent Project is uniquely equipped to tackle exactly the problems and obstacles parents face today: from iPhone/social media addiction and ADHD to SnapChat-bullying and sexual predators.
The program has been validated by psychological theories and experimentation, and is the largest court-mandated juvenile diversion program in the country.
Strong, loving families are the foundation on which our future is built, and Parent Project is the best tool for rebuilding these families. Parent Project envisions a world where all children are raised in a family filled with love and respect; a world where children appreciate the value of education, responsibility and even discipline.
