Centro Gumilla is a center for research and social action run by the Society of Jesus in Venezuela.[1] It was founded in 1968 and is the first such centre created in Latin America under Pedro Arrupe to direct Jesuit efforts more toward the service of the poor.[2]

In its range of publications, projects, and case histories, Centro Gumilla tries to foster organizational growth and community empowerment.[3]
