Residential Intern – Focused on the Education of Young Men in a Long Term Recovery Program
Residential Intern – Focused on the Education of Young Men in a Long Term Recovery Program
Lived with and counseled young men 18 to 25 years old off the streets of Los Angeles in a residential recovery program near Yosemite National Park. The focus of the program was on job skills, rebuilding personal respect, and educating for the future. We also hiked Yosemite to get them out to experience nature.
Taught workshops, classes, and lived in the dorms; led work crews that developed their work ethic.
Many of these young men were leaving LA Gangs, the real McCoy "Crips" and "Bloods" and once they left the gang, they could never return to LA. After 18 months, I was promoted to serve as a Youth Director with the Union Gospel Mission of Seattle for a youth center they were opening in Holly Park.
"Chris has" ...incredible interpersonal relationship skills. I have never met anyone who can draw out an individual as I have seen Chris do numerous times ... He has the gift of knowing how to relate to others."

Our team of teenagers traveled by horseback through the Haitian mountains to reach Citadelle Henri, Haiti’s most iconic historic site. Built between 1805 and 1820, this massive fortress stands as a symbol of Haiti’s independence — a nation born from the courage of formerly enslaved people who overthrew French colonial rule.

Building a School for Haitian Children
Building a School for Haitian Children
After my freshman year in college at 19, I was a team leader of teenagers to Haiti with https://teenmissions.org/ . For nearly three months during the summer we helped build a school, working alongside the Haitian people. I have a first-hand understanding of poverty and the determination the Haitians have to make a better life. This experience taught me how to lead your peers in the land of the unknown.
The Haitian Leaders decided to build a school before the hospital!
“Education promotes equality and lifts people out of poverty. It teaches children how to become good citizens. Education is not just for a privileged few, it is for everyone. It is a fundamental human right.”
