Congratulations to Taylor Hughes and Sophia Eddinger, recipients of our 2026 Jan B. Sheldon Award for Excellence in Advocacy, Mentorship, and Meaningful Change!
Taylor and Sophia go above and beyond for young people facing homelessness, poverty, trauma, and disconnection from school. Through compassionate mentorship and fierce advocacy, they help youth feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Their work carries forward Dr. Jan Sheldon’s legacy of believing in every young person, meeting them with compassion, and never giving up on their potential.
Please join us in celebrating Taylor and Sophia for creating meaningful change for youth and families in our community! 👏👏👏
