Promesa Boyle Heights at Proyecto Pastoral

Improve health outcomes and social connectedness in Boyle Heights by empowering residents to conduct community outreach and education, so that their fellow neighbors can access wellness resources.

It takes a village to nurture a child’s success. A thriving student is the result of more than a good school. It is also a thriving community with jobs, affordable housing, wellness access, & strong social networks. That is why, we are united around a vision where: 1) every child has an opportunity to learn, grow & succeed from cradle through college and career; 2) families can live a stable, healthy and fulfilling life; and 3) every individual is empowered to act & create a more just community.

We are creating a resident-led model for change, by engaging more residents and supporting a campaign for a school-based wellness center.
