Empower’s mission is to support, connect and empower children and young adults up through age 24 who have experienced the death of a parent. Empower offers a unique one-on-one Mentor Program and year-round events.
All programs are offered at no charge to the family. Programs vary by region.
Guided by the science that tells us children learn best from someone ahead of them on their journey, Mentors help teach, “loss is survivable.”
Mentors have lived experience and can relate to the loss of a parent.
Events remind children and young adults they are not alone in their grief and build community through peer support.
All events are community-based, non-therapeutic and at no charge to the family. Events are hosted year-round and on difficult days such as Mother’s and Father’s Day.
LUMINARIA is coming May 8 in Scituate, MA
Honor someone you love with a $25 luminaria bag
A nonprofit supporting and connecting children and young adults who’ve experienced the loss of a parent 🧡
At only 9 years old, Emilia Van Der Beek speaks with a kind of wisdom that comes from love and loss. In sharing her experience of her father’s passing, she reminds us that even the youngest voices can carry powerful truths about grief. 🧡

Grief doesn’t mean someone is gone, it means they’re still part of your story in a different way.
In this conversation with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, Conan O’Brien reflects on love, loss, and the ways the people we’ve lost continue to stay with us.
A reminder that even in absence, connection doesn’t disappear. 💙

Today, on Mother’s Day in the UK, we want to take a moment to honor the incredible impact mothers have on our lives and the love that continues to live on in our hearts❤️
When Cara lost her mom at nine, she began a journey that would one day inspire something powerful.
That experience eventually led to the creation of Empower, a community where children and young adults who have lost a parent can find mentorship, connection, and a reminder that they’re never alone.
What started from one story has grown into a network of support, understanding, and lifelong friendships.
Thank you to the Dolan Twins for helping share this meaningful conversation. 💙
