Get to know the Pastor Center
The Pastor Center carries forward Congressman Ed Pastor’s commitment to opening doors for others and serving his community. Here, students learn to use their voices, build relationships and take an active role in civic life. Our first ten years were made possible by people who believed in that mission and gave their time, energy and care to help it grow.
Watch our 10th anniversary video to get to know the Center and the community behind our work. We are grateful to the students, mentors, partners and supporters who have shared this journey with us. Whether you have been part of our story for years or are just discovering the Center, we invite you to learn more and help carry Congressman Pastor’s legacy forward.
