Proyecto Pastoral

Our Camino Seguro (Safe Passage) project will conduct a community-led safety study in Boyle Heights, focusing on car accidents and bicycle and pedestrian safety. By training residents to gather and analyze data, we aim to uncover the root causes of traffic safety inequities and implement effective solutions. This initiative will enhance our long-standing program, ensuring safer streets for all, especially youth and older adults.

Promesa Boyle Heights (Promesa) is a "collective of residents, youth, schools, and community organizations united in lifting community voices and working together to transform conditions and improve opportunities for students and families." Promesa, in partnership with Trust for Public Land, is leading community engagement to reimagine four LAUSD schools in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles as green schoolyards. These transformations will improve students' educational and health outcomes and increase vital access to greenspace.

We will create a peer mentorship program aimed at increasing college access in Boyle Heights, where college students mentor high school students, who in turn mentor middle school students.
