Breaking Bias: Women Leading Change at Homeboy Industries

Homeboy Industries proposes a project that elevates the leadership journeys of formerly incarcerated and previously gang-involved women thriving in our workforce. By investing in their resilience, and growth leadership training, we confront biased attitudes that limit perceptions of women's leadership capacity. Paired with our trauma-informed 18-month reentry program, this project will shift cultural expectations, amplify inclusive models of leadership, and inspire workplaces nationwide to recognize and invest in women's potential at scale.
