Overview
 
Our
program is unlike any other work/study venture anywhere in
the world!
Each
of our students works one full day a week to offset the cost
of his/her education by 72 percent and to experience a real-world
workplace environment.
One
full-time, entry-level office job supports a team of four
students. The cost is $27,000 for the year. Cristo Rey handles
all employment issues such as Workers’ Compensation,
Social Security, Medicare and tax withholding.This is truly
a "cutting edge" venture. Please consider adding
your support to Cristo Rey. Your organization can make a real
difference in the lives of our students.
