EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER

Chris Duhrkoop is a passionate advocate for children, families, and community, and the visionary force behind Share in the JOY, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations through compassion-driven programs and collaborative outreach.

With deep roots in the Las Vegas Valley since 2007, Chris is dedicated to uniting nonprofits, businesses, and volunteers around a common goal: to bring dignity, stability, and JOY to those who need it most. He currently serves on the board of Champions for CASA, where he helps support the work of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and elevate the voices of children in foster care.

Chris’s commitment to service extends beyond Share in the JOY through volunteer work with respected organizations including Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, and The Snoop Youth Football League. He is a proud member of Central Christian Church in Henderson, where his faith continues to guide his service.

But of all his roles, none mean more than that of father. Chris’s greatest mission is to lead by example and showing his children that kindness, courage, and action have the power to transform lives. Whether he’s coordinating volunteers, building partnerships, or serving on the front lines of a donation drive, Chris embodies what it means to Share in the JOY.
