GHNG18

Homeboy Industries launched the GHN by hosting the first annual Global Homeboy Network Gathering in August 2014 to provide structure and clear strategic direction to the technical assistance that Homeboy has been providing for decades.

The Annual Gatherings have included leaders from communities across the United States and the globe who have long hoped to bring pieces of the Homeboy model to their work and organizations. This unconventional “conference” has included technical assistance, best practices, storytelling, workshops, panel discussions, and activities that helped share the knowledge and tools found within the Homeboy Industries’ model.

The Global Homeboy Network now includes over 200 organizations that are actively working to provide hope and a future to high-risk and formerly incarcerated populations.
