COVID-19 and Unaccompanied Homeless Youth: School-Based Strategies for Support

Youth experiencing homeliness  face unique barriers to accessing school and health care, including COVID-19 vaccines and testing. With increasing numbers of school districts and states considering vaccine mandates for students, it is critical to understand how to support youth who do not have parents or guardians who can consent to their vaccination or testing, to ensure their ability to participate fully in educational activities. This webinar will help school-based providers and their partners understand who these youth are, their educational rights, and how to support their health and safety during the pandemic.
