Connect with other families in the Marquette County area to share and learn all kinds of things! Could be what’s happening for fun, time to socialize with other parents, helpful hints on raising kids, equipment exchanges, parenting skills, brush up on money management, support for understanding your child’s special needs or temperament, craft and menu ideas — you name it!

PIE contacts are located throughout the county. Families that are connected to other families and community resources tend to be more resilient to challenges in life. And its more fun, too!

PIE is a joint project of Extension Marquette County Human Development and Relationships and Healthy Communities Healthy Youth (HCHY) — but it is really the parents that make it work! Each community is connected to a PIE team member to ensure reliable, quality information is exchanged.

Reach out and connect with a PIE team member in your area.
