College Readiness for Homeless Youth

New ASCA/NCHE Webinar: College Readiness Support for Homeless Youth

Dear colleagues: NCHE is pleased to announce that it is teaming up with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) to offer a new webinar. The webinar aims to help states and school districts get on the path to meeting a new requirement under the Every Student Succeeds Act: that school counselors help homeless youth with college readiness and preparation. While the content will be especially relevant for school counselors, it will be informative for other educators and service providers working with homeless youth.
