Giving Back

Apr 27, 2024

One of the opportunities to support ACPE students offered by the Foundation for ACPE is the Hemenway Scholars Program, named after Joan Hemenway, to honor her contributions to ACPE, spiritual care and education theory and research, as well as countless students and care recipients. As many CPE summer internships do not provide stipends, we offer this scholarship to summer interns to help offset educational debt, housing costs, living expenses, etc. This is one of the many ways, as donors, you give back.

In 2015, Rabbi Katie Allen wrote “A Call for a New Kind of Chaplain,” urging chaplains practicing in conventional settings to consider becoming eco-chaplains, nature chaplains, earth chaplains, or creation chaplains (Allen, 2015). In 2024, the call is still open.
