Adriana is a spunky 4-year-old in our Pre-School who wants to become a firefighter when she grows up because her favorite color is red, and firefighters help people. She loves spending time with her family — especially her cousin who plays video games with her.
Jeremiah is a shy 8-year-old enrolled in our After School program with three siblings who have also attended Christopher House. He dreams of spending the rest of his life helping others as a doctor.
Alex is a 6th grade scholar in our Elementary School who has a special talent for math and a deep love of learning. He wants to become a second grade teacher when he grows up because he remembers it as his favorite year at Christopher House.
At Christopher House, we work to create opportunity and advance equity.
