AWHA Leadership Body Call for Young Adult Applicants
Application Open until open spots are filled. 

We understand that to guide the work ahead, those most impacted by the crisis of youth
homelessness must have primary influence.
 
AWHA reconstituted our leadership to empower even greater youth voice and to place racial and LGBTQ+ equity at the forefront. As part of that process, we returned frequently to our Racial Equity & Justice Core Principles:

  1. Recognize and Center Intersectionality

  2. Name and Challenge White Supremacy

  3. Engage in Principled Struggle

  4. Practice Targeted Universalism

  5. Generate Transformative Visions Towards Liberation

  6. Create a Culture of Accountability

and themes around making space for greater leadership from young people and leaders of color. As a result, our Leadership Body is now made up of 15 national leaders, eight of which are young people with lived experience of homelessness.

Earlier this year a “Founding 8” member of our Leadership Body, Antonia Aurora Lloyd joined the AWHAstaff team as our Administrative & Events Coordinator.In this position, she will ensure that AWHA lives into our values in all aspects of our event logistics and will directly staff and support the Founding 8 members of our Leadership Body. Our team is thrilled to welcome such a brilliant and committed leader in our movement to end youth homelessness. Please note that as Aurora joins the staff team, she has stepped down from our Leadership Body.
 
The AWHA Leadership Body is currently seeking a dedicated young adult leader in the movement to end youth homelessness to join our Leadership Body.
 
This announcement comes with continued and deep appreciation to all leaders in the youth homelessness movement, past and present, who have helped us arrive where we are today - centering race equity, LGBTQ equity and youth leadership in our work.  We all move forward together.
