What Cristo Rey Work Study Program Inc does

Mission

See Schedule OThe Work Study Program and Jesuit Cristo Rey High School of Houston (dba Cristo Rey Jesuit College Preparatory School) operate together as a coordinated program that inspires and prepares students with limited economic resources to succeed in college and lead their communities as compassionate, committed, and competent men and women for others for the greater glory of God.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. The Cristo Rey Work Study Program (CWSP) and the School operate together as a coordinated program, which combines personal responsibility, academic rigor, and a corporate work-study program to empower students of all faiths from economically challenged families to reach their full potential. All students of the School are required to participate in the work-study program. The CWSP trains the students during a Summer Training Initiative, teaching them hard and soft workplace skills. The CWSP is in constant contact with sponsors to ensure the students' success. The CWSP also included a remote work-study program for corporate remote working environments, and the School provided additional workplace skills for those not directly placed at on-site corporate work-study sites.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
