In high school, he participated in "Reconnecting Youth"  where he helped with daily meetings and a community cookout with at-risk kids to help them stay in school... Chris also took part in "Kaitlyn's Ride" doing food preparation for riders in support of this cause... In addition, Chris volunteered with various church activities involving setup of events and programs

Chris on his experience with "Reconnecting Youth":

"The Reconnecting Youth program that I was part of in high school really meant a lot to me, because it allowed me to meet a lot of new people in my high school that I may never had been friends with if it wasn't for this program. My football coach asked me at the beginning of my junior year to help him with this project he was starting to help at-risk kids at our school stay in school. It started as a couple of meetings a week when we first started and it transformed into a program that got added into the schedules of the at-risk kids and we would meet daily to talk, come up with more ideas for the program and develop ideas of how we could get the program more involved in the entire school and student body with events during school. The whole experience would take a while to describe, but it opened my eyes to different people and made me aware of not just what was happening with me."
