Johanna's Story of Transformation | From Homeboy to UCLA

Meet Johanna Carbajal. Johanna has been a member of the Homeboy family since she was 14 years old. Now, working with us as our Board Liaison and a full-time undergraduate student at UCLA, she takes pride in being a mom, daughter, sister, friend, and mentor – roles that for a long time, she had never imagined for herself.

"So much of this wouldn’t be possible without Homeboy Industries. The support, care, and the near constant reminders of the love and kinship, this is so critical for those of us who are part of the community."
