NAEYC's Interest Forums and Online Communities—a favorite benefit of membership for many—encourage the exchange of diverse opinions and further discussion, dialogue, and reflection about specific topics relevant to NAEYC’s mission and goals. 

The forums and communities provide NAEYC members a way to expand their knowledge and share their specific passion within early childhood education with other NAEYC members. Forums focus on a range of topics—from health and safety to professional development systems to men in education. They host face-to-face meetings at conferences, such as NAEYC's Annual Conference and Professional Learning Institute. Forum members stay connected throughout the year through HELLO, our online community, to continue the dialogue, share best practices, and champion the passionate early childhood interests of forum members.
