Stars of HOPE is a community arts and disaster relief initiative started by the New York Says Thank You Foundation in 2007. Stars of HOPE provides a path to healing designed by survivors for survivors. We provide research-based coping techniques and compassionate social support to those in the days, weeks, and years following a life-altering tragedy.
As this generation copes with the pandemic and other personal, local, and global stresses, Stars of HOPE recognizes the need to provide life-long coping techniques and opportunities for community leadership. That’s why we’re launching The Stars of HOPE School Club, an after-school space where engaged students can come together to creatively express themselves and learn about/respond to local and global crises.
1. Form a group Find other members – friends and fellow students who share your enthusiasm for making a difference.
Stars of HOPE clubs are peer-led groups that use the power of art to make a lasting impact in disaster recovery. You’ll be able to hold healing events and fundraisers and learn how your work can fill this gap through our innovative self-care programming and techniques to make an immediate difference after disasters strike!
3. Join “Stars of HOPE” and sign up your club. Fill out our club agreement form to get started. Our student engagement team will contact you!
At our core, we believe that partnerships are how you make an impact larger than yourself – whether it’s through disaster relief or youth resilience programs; community engagement initiatives we work with an array of organizations and sectors to customize programming to make the greatest impact.
Designed to personally assist survivors and those who have been affected by tragedy. Our qualified art therapists and certified emotional care responders work with local leaders and organizations to organize community-wide paint events customized to meet community-specific needs.
The Stars of HOPE project is a customizable program used in many different settings. We work with youth to provide resilience and education therapeutic art sessions for communities impacted by tragedy. Our team will work with you to figure out how to best fit your needs, so you don’t need to worry about anything but providing people opportunities. If you are a community directly impacted by a tragedy or disaster connect with us now.
The Stars of HOPE project will reduce the emotional distance between corporations and disaster survivors by allowing employees to participate in their offices’ relief efforts. This new dynamic empowers everyday volunteers, who can now express compassion with a sense that they are partaking in something larger than themselves—and providing daily support through hand-painted stars created by each company’s workforce.
The “Box Of Hope” kit enables companies worldwide–no matter where you’re based or how big your team is–to make an impact when people need emotional support most.
