Chris Perry

Fellow

Chris Perry is a man of faith, a devoted father, a trusted mentor, and a passionate advocate for juvenile justice. On any given morning, you can find him at the juvenile courthouse, guiding and supporting parents whose children are facing criminal charges, offering wisdom, empathy, and hope during some of their most difficult moments.

Driven by a deep sense of purpose, Chris is currently collaborating with his sister, Mary, to launch a transformative city-wide initiative called OBO (On Behalf Of). The program is designed to build bridges between community members and decision-makers, strengthening engagement with the juvenile justice process throughout Alachua County.

Chris’s mission extends beyond advocacy; he endeavors to cultivate mental, spiritual, and emotional freedom for himself, for at-risk youth, and for anyone burdened by poverty or hardship. His passion for empowering young people is matched by his compassion for all humanity. He believes that the greatest leaders are those who serve humbly, and that every act of service has the power to echo across generations.

With unwavering faith and intentional action, Chris continues to move with purpose, precision, and love, leaving a legacy of leadership that uplifts every life he touches.
