No Place to Go: Homeless Youth and Libraries

There are nearly 40,000 identified homeless youth in Michigan public schools, from preschool to 12th grade, including over 5,000 students not living with a legal parent or guardian. Highlighting National Homeless Awareness Week, this webinar will detail the different categories of homelessness, how to recognize a family or child struggling with homelessness, and will identify local resources and ways libraries can connect families to assistance. 

Instructor for this webinar will be: Pam Kies-Lowe, State Coordinator for Homeless Education/Homeless Education Consultant; Michigan Department of Education Office of Educational Supports
