Wealth Impact Partners is pleased to begin participating in Cristo Rey Boston High School’s Corporate Work Study Program. Cristo Rey Boston is a member of the Cristo Rey Network, a thriving association of 24 high schools that utilize an innovative work-study program to provide affordable, Catholic education to more than 6,500 students nationwide. Located in Dorchester’s Savin Hill neighborhood, the school exclusively serves families with limited financial resources.

Wealth Impact Partners joins over 100 companies currently involved with Cristo Rey Boston’s Corporate Work Study Program. Beginning in September 2011, four students will work at the Wealth Impact Partners offices five days per month to help pay for their education and to gain professional experience. The money generated from their placements offsets tuition, making Cristo Rey Boston the most affordable private education in the city.

All students in the Cristo Rey Network work in similar positions nationwide, learning about the corporate world, connecting their academic coursework to the work they do at their corporate placements, and gaining valuable skills that will serve them beyond high school.

Cristo Rey Boston High School’s mission is to educate young people to become men and women of faith, purpose and service. By offering a rigorous curriculum, a unique work-study experience, and the support of an inclusive school community, the school prepares students to succeed in college and beyond with the values essential to a fulfilling life. Cristo Rey Boston’s educational program has resulted in 100% of graduates being accepted to four-year colleges for the past two years.
