Homeboy Industries: Nothing Stops a Bullet Like a Job

Targeting youth involved in gangs, Homeboy Industries’ services enable young people to “redirect their lives and provide them with hope for their futures.” From job training to support and counseling, each person has a personal Case Manager while they take classes that teach them valuable skills to apply to their jobs.

Homeboy provides jobs for people who want to move beyond life on the streets in a gang. They offer case management, education, training for jobs, counseling, mental health services, legal services, and tattoo removal.

Jobs Are the Key to Change

The Employment Counselors help at-risk youth find jobs by:

1. Searching for available jobs
2. Developing Resumes
3. Developing personal presentation and interview skills
4. Finding good employment matches

Their goal is to find good matches for people who need jobs. They train them at Homeboy and then train them to take positions outside of the charity. This teaches them to be strong candidates for many positions.

A Window Between Worlds: 20 Years of Creativity and Healing

Can art help to end domestic violence? A Window Between Worlds believes that through creativity and healing, battered women and children can find a renewed sense of power and self. The images of survival, strength, and hope also spread the word about domestic violence, educating the public while survivors share their process of taking steps toward a better life.

Since 1991, A Window Between Worlds has provided healing tools through creative expression to 49,500 battered women and children in crisis centers and transitional homes. Art workshops provide a renewed sense of hope for women, helping them to realize that their lives are profound and their relationships are important. Their self-confidence is boosted, and they learn to value themselves more.

Art as an Outlet to Coping with Domestic Violence

Through art women and children are able to break the silence of their struggles and tell their stories. A Window Between Worlds believes that art is able to assist in:

1. Breaking the Silence
2. Recovering a Sense of Safety
3. Releasing Anger
4. Recovering a Sense of Joy
5. Building Feelings of Self Worth and Confidence
6. Developing a Positive Vision for the Future
7. Finding Support for Change
8. Building Connections with Each Other
9. Transforming Shelters
