For over 15 years, Christopher Borger-Hernandez has dedicated his career to advocating for children and families through roles in social work, early childhood education, and community empowerment. Most recently serving as Director of Programs for Jumpstart, Christopher led the training and development of college students across multiple universities—supporting them in becoming the next generation of early education champions.

Christopher joined GLAD Law with a deep commitment to equity and justice, bringing his extensive background in cross-departmental coordination, interpersonal leadership, and large-scale project management to streamline systems that uplift the LGBTQIA+ community. He believes that advocacy is most effective when backed by clear processes, bold ideas, and a heart for service.

Outside of work, Christopher is a proud plant dad—most of his green companions named after iconic drag queens—and a devoted “Tio” who delights in reading stories and playing games with his niece and nephew. He and his husband are happiest near water and can often be found spending summer days cruising on a boat, soaking in the serenity of the waves.
