“WE’RE IN THE BUSINESS OF
SECOND CHANCES.”
For more than 30 years, Homeboy Industries has transformed lives through its social enterprises by creating jobs, while providing training, support, and healing for formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated individuals. What began as a single bakery in Los Angeles has grown into the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, proving that business can be a powerful tool for second chances, economic mobility, and transformation.
