Story
Homeboy Industries is poised to expand our mission by championing and evolving our voices through Homeboy Media. We decide the stories, personalities, and moments AND feature a protective (legal and entertainment industry negotiated) layer, ensuring equity for our creators.
As a seamless extension of the Homeboy brand, Homeboy Media purposefully creates across all forms of entertainment and media while protecting internal Intellectual Property, safeguarding HBI’s culture and image, and ensuring fidelity to the Homeboy philosophy.
By leveraging Homeboy Industries’ unique expertise and the organization's global awareness as the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, Homeboy Media creates sustainable revenue streams while furthering the mission of transformation and empowerment for individuals impacted by gang culture and incarceration.
Championing the voices and creativity of our community through strategic media initiatives and fine arts, Homeboy Media seeks funding to support the following:
*Capacity Building, infrastructure, strategy - funds to develop and sustain internal media development and support as we collaborate with our Entertainment Advisory Committee and homegrown Homeboy artists and creators.
*Content Development - funds to launch Homeboy podcasts, short films, and YouTube series (sneak peek of slate here!)
*Creator Development and Expansion - develop and cultivate internal talent at Homeboy Industries
