“Proyecto's mission is to empower the economically and politically disenfranchised community of boyle heights through grassroots projects in education, leadership, and service. Our vision is that residents continually address evolving challenges in the community, and that boyle heights serves as a model for other communities to participate in their own social transformation. Proyecto was founded in 1986 by father greg boyle and by community residents in response to pervasive poverty and gang violence, low educational attainment of children and youth, and limited economic and civic engagement opportunities for community members. Today, proyecto utilizes a network of 1,500 volunteers and approximately 85 staff to carry out the work of its programs in service to the community, serving more than 6,000 residents annually, 100% of which are low-income and underserved, across five major initiatives: 1) early childhood education centers; 2) the guadalupe homeless project; 3) impacto youth development programming; 4) comunidad en movimiento civic engagement initiative; and 5) by serving as the backbone organization to the promesa boyle heights collaborative.”

“Ececs early childhood education centers (ececs) - proyecto provides high-quality, pre-k curriculum, to 100 children ages 18 months to 5 years through two ececs in boyle heights. Our centers offer a nurturing environment that focuses on social and cognitive development so that children receive the best start to their education at a crucial age of development. We have found through anecdotal evidence that after two years of our preschool program, children are ready not for kindergarten but for first grade. Each of the ececs implements monthly workshops with parents to engage them in direct participation in their child's education; invests in continuous professional development for teachers; and uses innovative technology to track and evaluate student progress.”

“Promesa promesa boyle heights (promesa) formed in 2010 as a community-wide collaborative of 30+ partners united in their mission to improve education and wellness outcomes in boyle heights, for which proyecto is the backbone organization. Promesa seeks to implement change at three levels - the individual, school and systems level - through an innovative collective impact model. Promesa is achieving its vision through a combination of community organizing, parent and student leadership development, and community-school transformation efforts that include multi-tiered student supports and school-wide initiatives addressing academic, wellness, and college and career readiness and success. As a result of promesa's strategies at mendez high school since 2012, graduation rates increased from 34% in 2011 to 89% in 2019; at roosevelt high school, graduation rates have risen from 33% in 2011 to 71.9% in 2019. In addition to school transformation, promesa builds resident leadership capacity in key areas including wellness, education justice, immigrant rights, and environmental justice.”
