Over the past 25 years, Homeboy Industries has created an effective national and international model of gang intervention. By creating a therapeutic community that provides the critical steps needed to change individual lives, Homeboy has made a singular impact on the Los Angeles community, not only by providing a means for the highest risk men and women to support their families in the short term, but also by creating a path to reentry for those considered “least likely to succeed.”
More than 300 men and women each year are provided job training positions in our headquarters and six social enterprises. While they learn on-the-job skills in what is often their first “real” employment, these clients are also encouraged to use their workday to work on themselves; mental health therapy, tattoo removal, substance abuse counseling, parenting and financial literacy classes, GED tutoring, solar panel installation training, case management and legal services are all offered free of charge in our headquarters. In addition, 10,000-12,000 community clients who are not employed in-house seek services like employment counseling and tattoo removal each year.
