Cristo Rey Network launches new partnership with Best Buy’s @15

February 5, 2010 - The Cristo Rey Network recently launched a new video project, “My Education, My Job, My Success,” in partnership with Best Buy’s @15 initiative and generous support from The Bradley Foundation.

For five months, Cristo Rey Network students, Brandon Guevara from Christ the King Preparatory in Newark, NJ and Jasmine Kendrick from Detroit Cristo Rey High School in Detroit, MI, will document how they live their lives at 15, learn from their jobs and school, love their families and communities, and also become leaders in all their environments - the core foundations of the @15 campaign.

“@15 fuels the power of America’s teenagers,” said Cristo Rey Network President and CEO Robert Birdsell. “We are ecstatic for this opportunity for our inspiring students to share from their perspectives how a 15-year-old can break the cycle of poverty by integrating school and work.”

Brandon and Jasmine will record experiences from their home, corporate work-study position, and school in relation to the themes live, learn, love, and lead. Footage will be edited into short documentaries to be posted monthly, from February thru June, at www.at15.com and www.cristoreynetwork.org.
