Rey of Hope: Cristo Rey Alumni Stories Brought to Life by The SVL Agency

April 07, 2025

At Silicon Valley Latino, through our creative arm The SVL Agency, we are proud to continue supporting impactful organizations in our community—like Cristo Rey San José Jesuit High School—by producing compelling storytelling content that amplifies their mission. Through the Rey of Hope Alumni Profiles series, we created two powerful videos highlighting the inspiring journeys of alumni who exemplify the transformative impact of a Cristo Rey education. These stories are not only a celebration of perseverance and purpose but also a reflection of what’s possible when community, opportunity, and education come together to uplift future generations.

Watch both videos to be inspired by these young professionals' stories!
