Parent Mines Community Alliance (PMCA)

Colorado School of Mines

Mission Statement


The mission of the Parent (Mines) Community Alliance (PMCA) is to provide opportunities for parents of children (of all ages) to support each other, bond, build relationships, and share resources. As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child.” The PMCA strives to expand that village for Mines’ parents across the university.

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity, there is beauty, and there is strength.”
