Our Projects 

1. Youth Neuroscience Workshops


We're developing hands-on, engaging workshops for middle and high school students to introduce them to neuroscience and brain health. Topics include:    

  • How memory works and what happens in Alzheimer’s.
  • The role of genes and environment in brain health.
  • Simple activities to boost cognitive wellness and learning.

These workshops aim to inspire future neuro-researchers while raising awareness among youth early on.


2. Community Conversations: Where Memory Meets Movement


Hosting powerful gatherings—both virtually and in person—where students, caregivers, researchers, and community members come together to:
​
  • Share lived experiences and scientific insight
  • Discuss ethical questions in neuroscience
  • Build solidarity and support
These events aim to  break the stigma around dementia and spark collective action. Every conversation is a step toward a more informed, compassionate, and mobilized community.

3. Crochet for Comfort: Stitching Stories of Memory

This creative project combines art therapy and advocacy by bringing volunteers and youth participants together to crochet comforting items—blankets, memory squares, and sensory-friendly accessories—for hospitals and for children and elderly with neurodevelopmental conditions. Each piece carries love, dignity, and connection. Some items represent personal memories or honor loved ones. This initiative:

  • Organizes regular group crochet sessions for volunteers and youth

  • Creates handmade blankets, memory squares, and sensory-friendly accessories

  • Collects and donates finished items to hospitals and care centers

  • Encourages participants to incorporate personal stories or dedications into their work

  • Hosts awareness events showcasing the crochet pieces and sharing their stories


4.Expert Engagement and Collaboration

This project involves connecting with medical professionals, researchers, and organizations to deepen our understanding of neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions. We seek advice from experts like Dr. Arishia Khan and Paul Irwin-Dudek from the Alzheimer’s Association to:

  • Gain up-to-date knowledge on research and care practices
  • Discuss challenges faced by patients and caregivers
  • Explore opportunities for collaboration and community impact
  • Share insights to raise awareness and improve outreach efforts
  • Seeking advice that will support and advance NeuroHope’s mission and programs
  • Write and share blogs to educate the community and raise awareness about neurological development and brain health.

Through these collaborations, NeuroHope ensures its initiatives are informed by the latest science and aligned with community needs.


 

 

NeuroHope attended the 2026 Alzheimer’s Research Symposium at the Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center at Rutgers, where they had the opportunity to meet the center’s director, Dr. Michal Schnaider Beeri. The experience was both inspiring and grounding, as numerous scientists, doctors, and researchers shared their findings, each bringing a unique perspective and reminding us of the many voices driving progress in this field.
