STUDENT TESTIMONIES
"Grad @ Grad taught me the value of being community minded through our experiences. I got to talk to a lot of people at the different sites, made friends with peers that I didn't previously know, and learn about different opportunities in my own community and beyond. We get an understanding of who people are inside."
"I am definitely more connected to Cristo Rey through Grad @ Grad — you get to know your peers outside of school through the activities and it brings people together. People I wouldn't have expected to get along with are now my friends."
