Goodbye elite sweet prince 😢

I want to introduce you guys to Marcus Avery. After seven years in prison, Marcus came to Homeboy looking to learn how to be a better father. After taking parenting classes, he has grown closer to his daughter. Marcus is an example of why I do this! #Blessed

I’d like to address my controversy with the Los Angels Police Department. My work doesn’t glorify gangs, but helps people escape life on the streets. Instead of watching, I chose to make a difference! 🙏🏻

It’s hard to believe I started Jobs for a Future 30 years ago. I’m very proud to say we’ve positively impacted thousands of lives, and will continue to do so! #JobsForAFuture
