Peter’s Place Selected as Childhood Bereavement Changemaker
February 2022
Peter’s Place is one of 30 grief-centered organizations selected by Judi’s House/JAG Institute to participate in the Childhood Bereavement Changemaker program to build capacity for data collection and program evaluation through a series of trainings, workshops, and collaborative learning sessions.
Over the course of a year, Changemakers will receive guidance and practical recommendations to address data and evaluation needs big and small that can inform strategic planning, support funding opportunities, and enhance the overall impact Peter’s Place has on the nearly 1 in 12 children in PA who are estimated to experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18.
Thank you to Judi’s House, New York Life Insurance Company Foundation and the NACG National Alliance for Children’s Grief for this wonderful opportunity!
