National Alliance for Children’s Grief

Chief Executive Officer

Remote

Founded in 1996, the National Alliance for Children’s Grief (NACG)is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness about the needs of children and teens who are grieving a death and provides education and resources for anyone who supports them. Through the collective voice of its members and partners, NACG educates, advocates, and raises awareness about childhood bereavement.

To lead the organization into the future and to play a primary, visible role in increasing its impact, NACG seeks a Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Working in a virtual environment, reporting to the Board of Directors and managing an operating budget of $1.25 million and a remote staff of 5.5, the CEO will lead NACG during a period of significant opportunity. The CEO of NACG will work closely with the Board of Directors, staff, and the membership to add the voice of grief education and bereavement support to the national discussions and plans of action.

As the impact of grief across the nation has become increasingly visible and the cost of inaction of support following deaths has been increasingly demonstrated - the impact of supporting children and their families has moved to the forefront of national significance. NACG is well-positioned to play a principal role in discussions on such issues as raising awareness that children and teens do grieve, emphasizing the needs of children and teens who are bereaved, and equipping those in a position to provide support to children, teens, and their caregivers after a death.

Perhaps never in the history of the United States has grief been so recognized as a need across all peoples. With myriad loss and change issues now so much a component of the national consciousness—NACG stands poised to play a leading role in this critical dialogue.
