Young Families Moving Forward

The Young Families Moving Forward awards are given annually to young parents who have overcome obstacles to demonstrate educational, professional, and personal success and self-sufficiency. All Alliance member organizations are invited to nominate any of their current or former clients to receive this honor.

To be eligible to receive the award, the nominee must have become a parent as a teenager, have a high school diploma or GED, not currently be receiving TAFDC, and have met the challenges of young parenting to achieve success in their roles as students, parents, and professionals.

This award is presented each spring, with nominations sought around March. If you are a provider who’d like to nominate a young parent with whom you’ve worked, be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay informed of the nomination process.
