Homegirl Cafe
I recently stopped by a Los Angeles restaurant for more than grub. I went to Homegirl Café to chat with the staff about the work they are doing in the community. The staff is made up of young women who have left or are struggling to leave a gang. The downtown restaurant gives the women a safe haven and teaches them how to cook and run a restaurant. The cafe/bakery is part of Homeboy Industries, an organization run by Fr. Greg Boyle to help former gang members and at-risk youth learn job skills and get work.
