Homeboy Industries assists at-risk and former gang involved youth to become contributing members of our community through a variety of services in response to their multiple needs. Free programs -- including counseling, education, tattoo removal, job training and job placement -- enable young people to redirect their lives and provide them with hope for their futures.
A distinctive feature of Homeboy Industries is its small businesses, where the most difficult to place individuals are hired in transitional jobs, thus giving them a safe, supportive environment in which to learn both concrete and soft job skills, while simultaneously building their resume and work experience. Founded by Father Gregory Boyle as a simple jobs program out of Dolores Mission Church in East LA, it has since grown to be an independent nonprofit and a national model of gang intervention, with five businesses offering job training positions where former rivals work side by side. 2008 marks our 20th anniversary year.

Films by Youth Inside (FYI) is an program sponsored by Made In America Executive Producer, Steve Luczo's Balance Vector organization. FYI teaches the basics of screenwriting and filmmaking to young gang members incarcerated in California's Youth Camps. Under the guidance of industry professionals, the participants create short films based on their own life experience. This process helps participants gain perspective on their actions while imparting valuable work and life skills, while the films themselves provide insight into the cultural and societal currents that may give rise to youth violence.
