Christin Thorpe

Engagement Leader, Midatlantic Region at Thrivent

Christin Thorpe is a doting mother and community-centric professional. She is a proud alumna of Hampton University where she received her B.A. in Community and Social Services. She subsequently earned a MSW degree with a concentration in Community Organizing and Social Administration from the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. During her graduate program she was awarded a Fellowship from the University of Pittsburgh Center for Race and Social Problems and lead community-based research on minority maternal health disparities.
Christin faced many challenges navigating academia as a young student-mother. Yet, she managed to excel personally and academically. As a result of her experiences, Christin developed a heart for young mothers and went on to establish The Ozzie and Me Scholarship Foundation. The Ozzie and Me Scholarship Foundation’s mission is to inspire young mothers to overcome the stigmas and obstacles of young motherhood and reach their academic goals.
Throughout her experiences in graduate school, Christin received divine opportunities to merge her faith and passion for social impact. Christin is now the Community Engagement Leader for Thrivent, a not-for-profit holistic financial services company. In her role she works with churches and non-profits to help individuals make the most of all they’ve been given, enabling them to live lives full of meaning and gratitude.
Christin has always been passionate about serving others and has been a consistent advocate for those historically disenfranchised. Christin has served two stints as an AmeriCorps member as well as a variety of other social justice and advocacy positions. She is a graduate of the Coro Women in Leadership Program, and previously served on the Board of Directors of Northside Institutional Church and the Policy Committee for the Day One Project.
