Empower

Building Confidence & Resilience to Transform Lives

When a child’s parent dies, the loss is life-changing, isolating and a potential source of a number of lifetime consequences, unless support is provided. Losing a parent shouldn’t mean losing the promise  of a child’s life, and that’s why we’re here.

Confidence and resilience are built when a child whose parent has died finds relief from her grief through a supportive community, and learns from a mentor who has also experienced loss.

We empower, support, and connect children, teens and young adults up through age 24 who have experienced the loss of a parent.

Our Programs

We provide children, teens, and young adults relief from grief and guide them through life following the loss of a parent. Our support comes in two forms: Events and Mentorship. 

We host big events and small get togethers to remind children they are not alone, and we offer a unique Mentor program where we pair children, teens and young adults with positive role models who have also experienced parent loss.

We are a support system providing community and connection. We’ve been there, we get it, and we can help make the journey more manageable. 

Our programs are available in 8 regions nationwide.  Click below to apply or learn more.
