School: Cristo Rey Jesuit High School Twin Cities

David Rodriguez, a first-generation student at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, is the son of Mexican immigrants whose sacrifices continue to inspire him. He views success not as personal gain, but as fulfilling a legacy of resilience, hard work, and hope. Through his internship at Christensen Group Insurance and role as a Minnesota Election Ambassador, David amplifies Latino voices and proudly represents his community’s values. These experiences have deepened his purpose and fueled his desire to bridge the gap between opportunity and those left out of the conversation. Committed to shifting what’s possible for others, he aims to spark courage, defy limitations, and uplift the voices of the Latino community. David plans to major in political science and minor in economics, and applied to CHCI NextGen to grow as a change maker and ensure that his journey uplifts the very people who built it.
