About Casa Chirilagua

We are a community of people “learning together to love our neighbors as ourselves” in a Latino neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia. As a faith-based Christian 501(c)(3) non-profit with a small staff and over 100 volunteers, we serve alongside more than 100 families and their children (1st-12th grades) each week through our community programs.

Kids Club

Casa is creating space for our community to shape its youngest members into its future leaders. We provide programs for 1st–5th grade students to hone their academic skills, improve confidence, and find an accepting community where they belong.

Teens Club and Casa to College

With Teens Club and Casa to College, Casa is providing 6th–12th grade students social and developmental support through group classes, tutoring, experience and exposure field trips, Bible studies, and college preparation.

Mentoring

Our community-based mentoring program matches students enrolled in Casa programs with a caring adult mentor for a minimum of one year. Transforming two lives through one mentor relationship!

Local Leaders are college-age young adults from the community hired to run our afterschool programs while receiving part-time job experience, professional development and training, professional mentoring, and support for continuing education.
