Project Description
Proyecto Pastoral is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working in the economically and politically disenfranchised community of Boyle Heights located in East Los Angeles. The organization was founded in 1986 by Father Greg Boyle and by community residents in response to pervasive poverty and gang violence, low educational attainment of children and youth, and limited economic and civic engagement opportunities for community members. Through Proyecto Pastoral, the community seeks to empower itself personally and socially by developing grassroots projects in education, leadership and service. This is the fundamental mission that has driven our organization for over twenty years. The organization coordinates five programs. These programs include IMPACTO, our after school enrichment program serving nearly 200 youth, ages 5 to 18; the Guadalupe Homeless Project, our emergency shelter serving 650 men annually; Comunidad en Movimiento (Community in Action), our civic engagement program; and our Thrift Store which provides jobs and low cost gently used goods to the community. All five of Proyecto Pastoral’s programs came about organically as the community expressed a need and desire for these services. What’s more, these programs continue to evolve and expand in accordance with community identified needs.
