Proyecto Pastoral and Partnership for Los Angeles
Schools received yesterday $300,000 to help increase high school graduation
rates in the Los Angeles region. Proyecto Pastoral serves over 2,500 students
in Boyle Heights. The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, an organization
started by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, serves nearly 16,500
students across 22 schools. Both
programs focus on early intervention with at-risk students and provide a
variety of support, education and training programs that encourage students to
remain in school and graduate.
