Who are Homegirl Caf\u00e9?<\/p>\n

While this event promises an incredible night out, the true magic lies in the mission it funds. The evening directly supports Homeboy Industries, which has grown to become the world\u2019s largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. For decades, they have provided a hopeful path forward for individuals looking to redirect their lives through counselling, education & legal assistance.<\/p>\n

As a vital social enterprise under the Homeboy umbrella, Homegirl Caf\u00e9 specifically focuses on empowering women who have survived trauma, domestic violence, and systemic barriers, which is why this fabulous event remains highly anticipated every summer!<\/p>\n
