Homeboy Industries

Homeboy Industries Homeboy Industries is the world's largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program.
(4244)

For over 37 years, we have stood as a beacon of hope in Los Angeles to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women seeking to transform their lives. Homeboy provides job training positions and free social services for formerly gang involved and previously incarcerated men and women. Each client is assigned a Case Manager on day one who helps them set a goal plan that may include: obtaining a high school diploma or GED, a course of action for release from parole or probation, and a general game plan for needed services, classes, and skills in order to find outside employment. Many of our Homeboys and Homegirls arrive into young adulthood with no support system and absent families. When these young men and women teeter in their stability, Homeboy is often called on to serve as “parent.”
What we want to provide our clients at Homeboy is a supportive community, a sense of family and a place where they come to help find their strengths, learn job skills, get an education, learn new life skills, and become contributing members to their families and communities. Life at Homeboy begins for our trainees with work in the maintenance department. During the course of their time at Homeboy, trainees move from maintenance to a vocational skill-building position in one of our six social enterprises, or an administrative position in our program headquarters. Daily activities for the “homies” (our trainees) might include attending a class such as Computer Basics, Bridge to College, Building Healthy Relationships, Anger Management, or Parenting, and perhaps having a one-on-one appointment with a mental health counselor and a tattoo removal session. Daily life starts each morning at Homeboy with morning meeting, where every staff member joins to hear the agenda for the day, share successes, and preview upcoming events. This meeting is closed with the “thought of the day,” a small piece of wisdom or inspiration from one of our trainees or staff to help us keep on track for the day.

You can study gangs. You can study violence. You can earn the degrees, do the research, and become an expert. But there are some things only people can teach you.

When Tom asked Dr. Jorja Leap how Homeboy Industries changed her, her answer went far beyond research.

After decades of studying gangs and community violence, she says Homeboy taught her about transformation, humility, love, community, and the people behind the label “gang member.” Sitting in Father Greg’s office and witnessing that transformation day after day gave her an understanding no classroom could.

She even credits Homeboy with helping her raise her daughter.

Sometimes the greatest education isn’t found in a textbook. It’s found in people.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT:

We received a wonderful update from Duc, an alumni of Homeboy 🤍

Since being released from federal prison in 2018, Duc has spent countless hours healing and working towards a new future.

After joining Homeboy Industries, Duc completed a 6 month internship with Project 180 LA. He was then hired full time as an ICMS Case Manager.

A few years later, he accepted a position with LAFD as an administrative clerk. Now, Duc is excited to start his next chapter as an emergency management coordinator with the LA County Chief Executive Office of Emergency Management.

Duc shares, “none of this would have been possible without the support, resources, and mental health therapy I received at Homeboy Industries. Working on myself and having that foundation changed my life.”

Way to go Duc! Please join us in congratulating him on his new chapter 🎉
