Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fr. Gregory Boyle, a Jesuit priest, founded Homeboy Industries in 1988 during the peak of L.A.'s gang wars. Working first as a parish priest, Fr. Boyle launched an effort to address the escalating problems and unmet needs of gang-involved youth. It developed into Homeboy Industries, one of the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry programs in the country. Sponsored by the Rochester-Monroe County Anti-Poverty Initiative, this talk is free and open to the public. Homeboy offers an \"exit ramp\" for those stuck in a cycle of violence and incarceration. Therapeutic and educational offerings (case management, counseling, and classes), practical services (e.g., tattoo removal, work readiness, and legal assistance), and job training-focused businesses (e.g., Homeboy Bakery, Homegirl Caf&eacute;, and Homeboy Silkscreen and Embroidery) provide healing alternatives to gang life, while creating safer and healthier communities. Elements of the Homeboy Industries model have been adopted in 46 communities &mdash; from Alabama and Idaho to Guatemala and Scotland. Homeboy Industries provides technical assistance for replication, but not in a franchise way. Communities determine their own needs and have ownership at a local level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/www3.libraryweb.org\/eventsIndividual.aspx?id=512234\">Monroe County Library website<\/a>, 2016-Nov-28]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building is An Evening with Fr.
