Lesley Reyes, BS, Criminal Justice, St. Joseph’s University
Lesley’s story shows how Domenica Scholarships work to power success well beyond high school. At CCHS, she connected with the Ignatian College Connection program, which awarded her a full-ride scholarship at St. Joseph’s. Today, she is the first in her family to graduate from college.
During high school, Lesley was active with LUCY Outreach, a Domenica Foundation grantee. She plans to continue to work with LUCY to help other Camden young people.
During her time at St. Joseph’s, Lesley participated in student associations focused on diversity and inclusion. She co-leads workshops for other college students about the immigrant experience in the US.
Next year, Lesley plans to work at an immigration law office while she prepares for law school.
