Proyecto Pastoral (Proyecto) is a social justice, community-building nonprofit working in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Our mission is to empower the community of Boyle Heights through grassroots projects in education, leadership, and service.  Proyecto was founded in 1986 by Father Greg Boyle, S.J. and by parishioners of Dolores Mission in response to poverty, gang violence, limited educational opportunities for children and youth, and limited economic and civic engagement opportunities for Boyle Heights residents.  Annually, we reach over 6,000 children and families through early childhood education centers, youth development programming, homeless shelters, community organizing efforts, and collective impact work.
