Chloe Zelkha
Co-founder, COVID Grief Network
Chloe Zelkha is an organizer and chaplain, and the co-founder of the COVID Grief Network, an innovative mutual aid organization offering free grief support to young adults who’ve lost someone to COVID-19.
After training as a community organizer through the JOIN for Justice Fellowship in Boston, Chloe served as a spiritual leader and fellowship director at Urban Adamah, a Jewish urban farm in Berkeley. After her dad died suddenly in 2017, she felt called to grief work and trained as a chaplain at UCSF Hospital, where she served in the NICU and Oncology units, and earned 3 units of CPE.
She is interested in marrying the wisdom of chaplaincy with the best of experience design to build transformative, immersive group experiences that help people connect with what matters most.
Chloe has a B.A. in Religion from Carleton College and an Ed.M. in Specialized Studies from Harvard University, where she focused on transformative learning. She is studying towards rabbinic ordination at Hebrew Union College.
