NAAE Agricultural Educator Relief Fund
All NAAE active members, except current members of the NAAE board of directors, are eligible to receive a one-time assistance stipend up to $500.00 to assist in an extreme time of need from the NAAE Agricultural Educator Relief Fund. In the case of a deceased NAAE active member, the surviving spouse or dependent(s) may receive the one-time assistance stipend. In extreme situations, such as the progression of a catastrophic illness, the same NAAE member may receive one additional stipend up to $500 from this fund, with the second stipend granted at least 12 months after the initial stipend.
If you're interested in filling out the application for this relief fund you can check out the website here.

NAAE Advocacy
As an agricultural educator, simply telling the story of what you do every day is great advocacy. You are making lives better, giving students the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, and helping unite and strengthen your community.
That’s why it’s essential to advocate. Tell your ag ed story. Make sure the world knows just how important agricultural education is to your students and your community. You’re a teacher — teach your community, state and national leaders the importance of agricultural education!
Check out these cool advocacy plans that you can use in your very own classroom! Sharing what we do each day is important to keep our organization afloat and active.
