Cristo Rey NY Volunteer Program (Monthly Stipend)
The Cristo Rey NY Volunteer Program seeks dynamic, thoughtful young men and women of promise who are committed to sharing their many gifts and talents with our students.

WHO ARE WE?
Cristo Rey New York High School (CRNYHS) provides an affordable alternative for urban families who seek a small, Catholic, college-preparatory school for their sons and daughters.
Like its 36 sister schools in the Cristo Rey Network, CRNYHS offers students from low-income families a quality education and real-life work experience that are designed to prepare them for college and successful careers thereafter.
CRNYHS is governed by an independent board of trustees with the endorsement of three religious congregations: the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus, the De La Salle Christian Brothers, and the Jesuits.
Application Process
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis without an official deadline, and are reviewed within a week of receipt. Phone or personal interviews will be coordinated with candidates. You are welcome to contact Jennifer Akotoh, CRNYHS alum and current Director of Graduate Support
and Volunteer Program Coordinator, or our current volunteers with questions.
