OVERVIEW:
Unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness face unique educational barriers that no single school role or community organization can address alone. This virtual training focuses on strengthening cross-systems collaboration within schools and with community partners to improve identification, reduce stigma, and increase educational access and outcomes for unaccompanied youth under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
OBJECTIVES:
By attending this training, you will be able to:
1. Explain how cross-systems collaboration supports identification, stability, and educational success for unaccompanied youth in alignment with federal McKinney-Vento requirements.
2. Identify key school-based systems and community partners that can work together to reduce stigma, remove barriers, and ensure equitable access to educational opportunities.
3. Apply youth-centered, strengths-based strategies that elevate student voice, promote self-advocacy, and empower unaccompanied youth to take charge of their education.
AGENDA (all times are Eastern):
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Presentation
