"Let love live through you, that's where the JOY is." - Fr. Greg Boyle
For 36 years, Homeboy Industries has served as a beacon of hope where love lives through us and we embrace the demonized so that the demonizing stops. Today, Homeboy Industries is the world's largest reentry organization for formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, serving more than 10,000 people annually. Our program provides comprehensive social services and job training through our 14 social enterprises to help people heal from intergenerational complex trauma. Whether it's access to tattoo removal, educational classes, case management, mental health or housing services, the need has never been greater. With your generous investment, we can continue to help people change and transform their lives. Your support will help more people find joy through healing, love and community.
"Homeboy Joy is togetherness. It's our second family when we come to work. Everyone's mood is high and if there's someone who is down, we bring them up. It's such a beautiful thing."
Shankar Davis, Homeboy Art Academy
"Joy at Homeboy is confirmation, rehabilitation and compassion. It's second chances, recognition and the gift of self-awareness. Joy at Homeboy is being at home - feeling loved, wanted and seen."
Gennell Lewis, Academic Programs
