The Cristo Rey model (exemplified in 24 schools across the U.S.) is a work-study program where students work five days a month at local businesses. We have over 100 partnering companies in Boston, and a number of big-name sponsors (Deloitte, Pricewaterhouse Cooper, Newton Wellesley Hospital, Hannify and King LLP, and the Red Cross).” Tom Cousins graduated from the University of Denver in 2010 with a degree in finance, and works in Denver for a new bank holding company, Community Bank Partners.
