The Association of Salesian Cooperators is a lay association in the Catholic Church. It is one of the three main branches of the Salesian Family founded by St. John Bosco in 1876 to provide care and education to young people, especially those who are poor. Don Bosco described the Cooperators as "people who wish to devote themselves to works of mercy in a specific rather than a general way." Don Bosco established rules and a mission for the Cooperators which are included today in The Project of Apostolic Life.
