In the final installment of MAEC's four-part homeless education and family engagement webinar series, we have teamed with the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) for a two-day community of practice.

Each session lasts 90 minutes.

A Four-Part Homeless Education and Family Engagement webinar series. This series will raise awareness about students who experience homelessness and provide resources and guidance for working with schools, families, and communities.

Join us as we demystify supports available for Out of School Time service providers, review strategies to ensure the preservation of dignity while advocating for students, and audit district-, school-, and community-based practices to ensure equitable access. Topics in the series include summer support, advocacy for LGBTQIA+ students and their families, state- and district-level partnerships, and community and team partnerships.
