Cristo Rey Sacramento
Work-study program benefits
students & businesses
"
"
W
hen our first Cristo Rey
students started working
with our company, I had
no idea of the impact they would
have around our office. Our student
employees are productive workers
and have become an integral part
of our company. Our employees
are excellent supervisors and
mentors to our students. With the
help of Cristo Rey, the students are
benefiting and so are we!
O
ne of the best aspects of
being a Cristo Rey work-
study employer is watching
“first day” trepidation give way to
confidence and self-assurance. Our
student employees are a key part
of the team here at Porter Scott. They
learn all aspects of a litigation practice –
and we hope we inspire some to pursue
a career in advocacy of any type. I
urge every law firm in Sacramento
to consider becoming a work-study
employer. It’s a great investment in our
community."

F
ive Star Bank has experienced,
first-hand, the incredible
results of Cristo Rey’s work-
study program. While our student
interns gain valuable work skills, our
employees gain the immeasurable
benefit of actively mentoring the
next generation. We encourage
other businesses to embrace the
importance of career awareness,
exploration, and preparation
among our youth. At Five Star
Bank, the work-study program
has enhanced the workplace
while ensuring today’s students
are tomorrow’s leaders.
