Chloe Zelkha is a fifth-year rabbinical student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where she is a Wexner Graduate Fellow. She has spent the last ten years designing transformative programs for young people and adults. After graduating from Carleton College with a B.A. in Religion, she was trained as a community organizer through the JOIN for Justice Fellowship in Boston where she worked at The Food Project, a youth employment program that brings diverse cohorts of teens together to grow food and connect across difference. Looking to build immersive experiences like these in the Jewish community, she transitioned into a role as Fellowship Director at Urban Adamah, a Jewish farm in Berkeley, where she led semester-long deep dives for young adults into Jewish spirituality, farming, mindfulness, and social justice for nine seasons. After her dad died suddenly in 2017, she felt called to grief work and trained as a chaplain at UCSF Mission Bay Hospital, where she earned 3 units of CPE and offered spiritual care to those who were ill and dying, and facilitated “grief retreats” for young adults outside the hospital. She is the co-founder of the COVID Grief Network, a mutual aid organization—now a project of Reimagine—that offers free support and community to young adults who have lost someone to COVID-19. Chloe holds a Master’s in Education—focusing on transformative experiences—from Harvard University.
