Homeboy Industries provides hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community. Each year over 10,000 former gang members from across Los Angeles come through Homeboy Industries' doors in an effort to make a positive change. They are welcomed into a community of mutual kinship, love, and a wide variety of services ranging from tattoo removal to anger management and parenting classes. In this Designmatters and Humanities and Sciences hosted Transdisciplinary Studio (TDS), students will develop comprehensive systems that will lead to better recruitment outcomes of more diverse mental health professionals serving the Homeboy community, in addition to building volunteer pipelines throughout communities of color.
