Chy Robins was born and raised in Chicago by her mom, Lucy. Chy was first exposed to urban youth ministry as a 16-year-old SLAM kid in 1999. She made the decision for Christ during that school year, on Good Friday, 2000. Chy returned to SLAM as a college student in January of 2005 and served the Lord and our kids as a coach for three SLAM seasons. She has since been a Head Coach and Ladies' Coaches Director. Chy now helps with administrating many of GRIP's programs.
Chy is attending Abundant Life World Outreach, under Pastors Steve & Tracey Bartlett. In 2007, she graduated from Northeastern Illinois University with a B.A. in Community Health & Wellness, with a focus on Program Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating. After spending the summer of 2007 as a GRIP intern, Chy responded to the Lord's calling to full-time ministry.
