News and resources

Main Content

As we continue to work amid the challenges of Covid-19, the East End Counselors Association is dedicated to supporting our members and school counselors across the East End of Long Island. We have collected resources and information to support school counselors in the important work of facilitating student progress in their academic development, career development and personal and social development.

Please use our News & Resources For School Counselors for updates on Covid-19. In addition, we have assembled resources from NYSED, ASCA, NYSSCA, SUNY and other sources to provide you with helpful links to information on the college admissions process, financial aid, and other resources for school counselors.

We also encourage members to share resources they find valuable by emailing Tom Rabbitt at trabbitt51@gmail.com and we will add them to our News and Resources for School Counselors flyer which is updated periodically.
