Christopher House is a catalyst for helping at-risk children from birth to age 18 thrive by taking a comprehensive approach to education and creating lifelong learners. Understanding that educating the child is not enough, we also provide supportive services to the entire family that help build stability and self-sufficiency. Our innovative, family-centered approach is critical to the well-being of the children and families we serve, expanding opportunities and having a positive, measurable impact on their ability to succeed. Over 98% of our families are at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. Learn more about our programs and enrollment.
Christopher House is currently in the midst of a capital campaign to build a new family resource center in the low-income, high-need community of Belmont Cragin, located on Chicago's west side.
Jessica is an active member of our Parent Policy Council and serves as the parent representative to our Board of Directors. "Jessica is one of our most involved parents," says her daughter's former teacher. Read about how Jessica and her children have thrived through our services.
We are seeking volunteers for our Logan Square Family Resource Center! Volunteers work with our children, youth, and parents to help create thriving families.
