mission, vision and values
Christopher House is committed to helping families thrive.
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. We focus on each child’s overall growth and development which has a positive, measurable impact on their ability to succeed. Understanding that educating the child is not enough, we also provide supportive services to the entire family that help build stability and self-sufficiency. We serve nearly 4,000 children and family members every year through our six sites on Chicago’s north and west sides.
