Volunteer with Cristo Rey Jesuit


Career Exploration Panels
Select Fridays, Winter/Spring 2024

The cornerstone of the Cristo Rey experience is students’ participation in the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP).  The CWSP prepares high school students for professional careers through workforce preparation and job placements at more than 120 corporate and non-profit sites throughout Chicagoland. 

As part of the CWSP, a cohort of freshmen is participating in a yearlong training program to prepare them for their first work experiences.  Their curriculum includes coursework on coding, financial literacy, executive functioning, academic enrichment, and career exploration.  

Individuals, companies, and alumni who are passionate about preparing the next generation of ambitious, ethical, and diverse talent are invited to volunteer during the Career Exploration Panel series. 

The Career Exploration Panels will be hour-long panels with 5-6 professionals sharing their experiences and answering student questions.  Each session will speak with a classroom of 25 freshmen who are eager to learn about diverse experiences in that week’s featured industry.  There are three sessions each morning, 8-9 a.m., 9-10 a.m., and 10-11 a.m.  Volunteers are welcome to stay for one or more sessions.
