  • sandstar578 This video had me in tears. Thank You for having a place like this, a place, to help people grow, give, live, and find themselves. I desire that there will be more communities and loving caring people to set them up for all age groups, all people who would benefit, and all around the U.S.A. and the world. Thank you to all who work at the center. Thank you to those who shared this. This Homeboys is awesome! last year

  • RhonndaR Inspiring to see that Father has NOT written off these young people like too many people and places do! It is wonderrful to see such redemption and progress made where it is needed. God Bless the Father and all those who are helping run this program,...may He bring it to other areas of the countries that need it!?! last year

  • Mary Ann C. Father Boyle is a true follower of Jesus. The love he provides for these boys and men that no one else has probably given them before is so wonderful.I just hope that this idea will spread into all the major cities,then into the suburbs. Keep up the good work Fr. Boyle. last year

  • sharon_b283 One person, making a difference! These are what I consider ROLE models! Not the NFL, NBA or major baseball; none. It's people with a conscience who see injustice for what it is. When you don't have functioning parents or a Mom or Dad, doing it alone, it's a recipe for near disaster for our children systemically being ushered into the prison complex. A NEW slavery, designed to fill an employment gap for the closing of our factories and jobs being shipped overseas. Here is someone, a man of God, who recognizes that these young people needed a gift, a gift of time and caring. It's all any young person needs. God bless Rev. Boyle and the countless others, nameless, who just get up and DO it! Kudos and Bravo! last year

  • kare01 Father Boyle is the greatest. He sees with his heart! A true hero! Thank you Father Boyle! last year

  • cmfarrell36 That video is awe-inspiring. Full credit to Father Greg Boyle for starting this scheme, and for following through. And congratulations to all those who work there, who have been through the doors and have found themselves a place in society - and to all the folk there for wanting to help others. last year

  • rez Thanks Explore.org For sharing this video. I liked it. last year

  • Thanks for sharing this. I found this program and site while watching Link TV and it is nice to see the good news and great things people are doing for each other. I would like to see a Homeboy Industries or something similar in every community. 2 years ago
