National Mother of the Year
In 1968, American Mothers established the Young Mother of the Year award to honor moms in the trenches with young children still at home. Due to the changing demographic trends in maternal age, this award was phased out in 2016 and merged with the Mother of the Year recognition. Below is a listing of recipients of the National Young Mother of the Year award from 1968-2015.
