How it Started
Welcome to CHS! My name is Joseph Dwyer and I'm currently a student at St. Joseph's Preparatory High School in Philadelphia. My goal for creating CHS was to collaborate with fellow students on fundraising projects that genuinely inspired and motivated us. Although the initial intention was to serve the my local community in New Jersey, CHS has now expanded include students from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
Over the past few years, I have gained a ton of knowledge, from website development to navigating the process of obtaining a business license. I have been fortunate to have the support and patience of my family and school, and while the workload has been more than expected, it's rewarding to see our progress. In 2023 CHS organized its inaugural fundraiser for St. Vincents de Paul, raising almost $1,800. What made the experience truly great was the amount of fun everyone had being together for a great cause and we were able to create our own community.
As we set our sights on the future, our members are actively searching for causes and communities in need that we can support. If you would like to reach out with suggestions we would love to hear from you - or better yet, join our CHS team.
