HOMEBOY IS WHERE THE HEART
Location
Los Angeles. USA
No problem is too big that it can’t be solved through innovation, ingenuity and endeavour. The key to success is to experiment often and take risks until you find the answer. To fail in order to succeed. This series will introduce a global roster of individuals and groups from (or connected to) communities faced with seemingly insurmountable problems, who dedicate time, resources and passion towards finding unlikely solutions. There is no greater example of overcoming urban adversity than the Homeboys of Los Angeles. Homeboy Industries is the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. For over 30 years, we have stood as a beacon of hope in Los Angeles to provide training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women, allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of the community.
