CLC 2024
Orlando, January 28, 2024: The AFSP New Jersey Chapter is honored to win the Richard B. Kirchhoff Overall Chapter of the Year award at the AFSP annual Chapter Leadership Conference!

Witnessing the evolution of AFSP and the profound impact they've had in communities nationwide is nothing short of inspiring. Our New Jersey Staff, Board, and Volunteers have truly shown the power of collective efforts. 

Proud 2023 Achievements:
  • 4 Century Walks (raising over $100,000 each)
  • OVERALL CHAPTER OF THE YEAR (out of 74 chapters)
The commitment to awareness through advocacy, education, and community outreach via social media is commendable. Expanding operations statewide was made possible by the recruitment of passionate board members and volunteers, resulting in a strong base of 200 active volunteers.

In 2023 alone:
  • 108 new volunteers joined the cause
  • Over $1.2 million raised through 13 community walks and 4 campus walks
  • More than 120 programs delivered, state-wide
Our focus in New Jersey is clear - providing FREE educational programs and resources to elevate AFSP as the leader of Suicide Prevention in the state. Let's continue breaking down barriers, fostering connections, and saving lives together!
