Welcome, HEST!

Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle is delighted to welcome HEST as the newest partner in our Corporate Work Study Program.

Founded in 2017, HEST Outdoors began with a simple but bold idea: help people sleep better in the outdoors by creating gear that brings the comfort of home into nature. Whether someone is camping, road tripping, or exploring the outdoors with family and friends, HEST’s products improve rest and make every adventure more enjoyable.

Aaron Ambuske, Founder and CEO of HEST, said: 

"We look forward to partnering with Cristo Rey. We see the value of introducing students to work environments to complement their academics. All of my kids have worked at HEST, and I know they have developed skills and shaped their academic paths through the workplace experience. We appreciate the energy and curiosity of the students and see our partnership with CRJS as a benefit to the HEST culture.”

Hestia, the Greek goddess of hearth and home, inspires the company’s name, reflecting HEST’s dedication to creating warm and welcoming experiences that travel with you wherever you go.

We are grateful to have HEST as a Corporate Work Study partner. Their commitment to innovation, comfort, and meaningful experiences aligns beautifully with our mission to prepare students for success in college, work, and life.

We look forward to the growth, learning, and inspiration this partnership will offer our students.
