National Home Visiting Appreciation Week  

April 20-24, 2026

Home visitors play a vital role in supporting Minnesota families, strengthening communities, and improving outcomes for children. During National Home Visiting Week, we celebrate home visitors across our state, and we invite our partners, grantees, and communities to join us in honoring this impactful work.  

About the week

National Home Visiting Week is a nationwide celebration led by the Institute for the Advancement of Family Support Professionals to honor home visitors and the positive impact they make on supporting child development, strengthening maternal and child health, and nourishing family relationships.

View and download the Institute’s National Home Visiting Week 2026 Toolkit (PDF) that has messaging tips, templates, and other information relevant to the week.

How to get involved

Use the Institute’s toolkit to plan your celebration.
