Proyecto Pastoral
IMPACTO serves 800 youth annually TK-8th grade in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.
IMPACTO plans to serve youth from Hollenbeck Middle School, Roosevelt High School and Mendez High School with Academic Case Management services; youth ages 11-14 with after-school and summer programming at Dolores Mission School and at the Aliso-Pico Recreation Center; youth with after-school programming at Mendez High School; and youth ages 11-18 with sports and recreation at the Aliso-Pico Recreation Center. Proyecto aims to increase the number of youth served through Mendez after-school programming and the sports and recreation programming.

“IMPACTO impacted me by helping me be a better person. [Before IMPACTO] I didn’t care about school. I was just failing all of my classes and I didn’t really care about anything. [IMPACTO] gave me motivation to go on to college and become an X-Ray Technician, and do better in school.”
"Proyecto Pastoral is playing a key role in creating an educational pipeline of supports in Boyle Heights. Proyecto's IMPACTO youth program works with students holistically to build their skills and leadership, and reaches some of the most vulnerable students to ensure every student succeeds."
