The St. Christopher’s Family hopes you and your loved ones are staying safe, sheltered in place, stocked with what you need, and keeping healthy. As you know, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, our campuses remain open. And whether on-site or at home, our dedicated Team continues helping our youth continue their journeys of self-discovery and healing…with the health and safety of residents, staff and families our top priority. While the pandemic forced us to cancel our two 2020 fundraisers, our expenses have been increasing for vital and life-saving services and supplies…from deep cleaning and PPE for frontline staff, to technology to keep our youth learning and remote staff working. So we need your help now more than ever. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to St. Christopher’s via PayPal or Network For Good…and choose St. Christopher’s, Inc. as your Amazon Smiles Charity. You can even shop our Amazon Charity List.
To explore other ways to support our work, such as PPE donations, please contact Dennis da Costa at ddacosta@sc1881.org. Thank you!

Three Unique Campuses
Dobbs Ferry
Our main campus is set on 14 open acres of property with picturesque views of the magnificent Hudson River. Located in the heart of Westchester County, the campus is just 20 miles north of New York City and is easily accessible by public transportation. There are approximately 74 male and female residents with behavioral and emotional challenges.
Jennie Clarkson
Home to our Animal Assisted Therapy Program, our Jennie Clarkson campus is nestled on 35-acres of secluded, wooded property at Route 22 and Old Orchard Street. The tranquil campus serves as home to approximately 54 youngsters with cognitive and developmental challenges such as: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar and Depressive Disorders, and an IQ Range of 60-120
New Windsor
The New Windsor campus is located on 22-acres in Orange County, about one hour’s drive from the Agency’s main office. In the summer of 2016, the program objectives were refocused and the campus became a single gender program serving up to 36 girls. This program is designed to help young women ages 12-21 develop the strengths and coping skills they need to reduce the trauma they have experienced and pursue interests with less gender stereotyping.
