Employment counselors at Homeboy play an important role as they act as intermediaries between employers, trainees and community clients.

All trainees at Homeboy Industries are immediately placed with a case manager who helps them to create a goal-oriented service plan, guides their progress through necessary services, and holds them accountable as they move toward a better life.

A full-time lawyer on site provides workshops, one-on-one guidance, support and referrals for criminal and civil issues, including assistance with clearing warrants, expungements, resolution of child custody issues and other legal matters.

Mental Health therapists provide individual and couples therapy for Homeboy clients.

Our first priority is to guide clients to complete a high school diploma or obtain GED certification. Homeboy provides GED preparation as well as life skills classes and an enrichment curriculum, teaching skills from financial management to healthy relationships.

Homeboy Industries covers tuition and supply costs for Homeboy clients who wish to enroll in the Photovoltaic Training program at East Los Angeles Skills Center.
