Homeboy Industries
Homeboy Industries provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community.
Each year over 10,000 former gang members from across Los Angeles come through Homeboy Industries’ doors in an effort to make a positive change. They are welcomed into a community of mutual kinship, love, and a wide variety of services ranging from tattoo removal to anger
management and parenting classes. Full-time employment is offered for
more than 200 men and women at a time through an 18-month program
that helps them re-identify who they are in the world, offers job training
so they can move on from Homeboy Industries and become contributing
members of the community - knowing they count!
An excellent model and highly successful program. Donations go to very good use.
