naehcy annual awards




Over the years, NAEHCY's annual awards have become an important mechanism by which the homeless education community recognizes it members who have made outstanding contributions to the field and to serving and supporting children and youth experiencing homelessness. Award recipients are selected through a screening and selection process overseen by a dedicated committee of State Coordinators for Homeless Education and other experts in the field. Award winners are recognized at a special ceremony held during the NAEHCY Annual Conference.
