Alumni Spotlight

Claire Markham is a 2007-2008 alumna from the Little Village House. During her year of service she worked at Our Lady of Tepeyac High School as its campus minister and theology teacher. She is currently the Associate Director for the Faith and Progressive Policy Initiative at the Center for American Progress in Washington, DC. 

Claire shares "I'm lucky to be able to continue living the tenets of community, faith, and social justice in my work to advance public policies that will make people's lives better, to strengthen the effectiveness of faith communities raising the moral voice in the public square, and to keep the common good at the center of our political life. On a personal level, I am very grateful for the habits of reflection and community building Amate House helped me build. And in my work, I often think about how much I learned during my service year about the structures of injustice, the way they build upon one another, and the ways in which we can begin to untangle them and make life more just for our community's most vulnerable."
