COPE is pleased to facilitate The Hero Project, hosted by the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center. The HERO Project was created as a safe space for middle and high school students who have lost a parent, sibling, grandparent, or friend, to feel empowered while connecting with other grieving peers. The next meeting will be Sunday, January 12, 2024 at the Sid Jacobson JCC (East Hills, New York) at 11am. Please let us know if you have any teenagers who will benefit from this free supportive space and share the flyer with your networks.

Camp COPE Clinical Director job description linked here if you are interested for yourself or to share: https://ideali.st/FBhwKa After a thirteen-year partnership with Eluna Network - and as COPE transitions towards more localized initiatives - we're rebranding our summer bereavement camp and retreat from "Camp Erin NYC" to "Camp COPE" for the 2025 season and beyond. We are beginning our process to find a new Camp COPE Clinical Director both to support this transition and to oversee the Camp interview process and Camp weekend beginning in 2025. We’re so excited about this new chapter and the potential with programmatic growth and redesign. And we are very appreciative of our leadership team's insight, encouragement, and work in facilitating this step and know it is only possible because of the strength of what they have created over the last decade plus.
