Centro De Alegria

Centro De Alegria, located at 420 North Soto Street in Los Angeles, California, is an institution dedicated to building a healthy, safe, and thriving Boyle Heights community for all residents. We work alongside community members through grassroots projects in education, leadership, and service, with a focus on Early Education Centers, Youth Development, and Community School Transformation Strategies. As the backbone organization for the Promesa Boyle Heights collective impact initiative, we empower those most impacted by systemic inequalities to create lasting change. Our mission includes restoring a sense of wholeness for shelter participants and fostering connections with the community. We believe in solidarity with the poor and prioritize community leadership in our vision for change. With a foundation of strong, reciprocal relationships with residents and partners, our work integrates spirituality and a commitment to building just relationships within the community.
