Every summer the Harry Tompson Center recruits at least one Jesuit Volunteer from the national Jesuit Volunteer Corps program to work with us at the Center. This year, we welcome Christian Frederickson!

Christian was born in Maryland, close to the nation’s capital. He spent most of his childhood in the D.C. area, but since then his family has relocated to Illinois. Since arriving in New Orleans, Christian has already enjoyed the local parks and music scene, and he looks forward to exploring the rest of the city.

Christian is a graduate of Notre Dame University, where he majored in Science Business, a category of pre-med studies that also focuses on business practices. He hopes to one day be a doctor that incorporates service to those struggling with homelessness.

Before joining the Jesuit Volunteers, Christian volunteered at a recovery program and shelter in Virginia. He also volunteered at a local free clinic. He has been impressed with our center, including the medical services and has enjoyed meeting our volunteer physicians.

Welcome, Christian!
