Homeboy industries
Homeboy Industries provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, 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.
Located in downtown Los Angeles, Homeboy Industries provides hope and job training for formerly gang involved and previously incarcerated people so they can redirect their lives and become contributing members of society. Homeboy Industries is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which utilizes a combination of donations and revenue from various social enterprise businesses to fund its innovative model of therapeutic wraparound services and job training. Established 1988, this forward thinking approach to helping those seeking transformation has helped the organization become the most successful re-entry program in the world.
