2021 Community Award

We applaud Maine Family Planning for the revision and distribution of your Best Practices curriculum in 2020. In the midst of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, your team worked outside the box to develop a virtual classroom for the 2020 curriculum. Sharing this vital resource with Health educators across the state provided them with a new way to engage students during hybrid and remote learning.

Community Award (formerly Lay Person) – is presented to an organization or individual who has supported MAHPERD or the mission of MAHPERD.
