“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.”
Anthony, IMPACTO ACM participant at Roosevelt High 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."
