Kenan Do Lunch with Father Gregory Boyle
Sponsor(s): Kenan Institute for Ethics
Cost: Free; RSVP required
Undergraduates, join us for a Do Lunch event with Father Greg Boyle. Familiarly known as "Father G," he will be a visiting Kenan Practitioner in Residence with Religions and Public Life at KIE. Fr. Boyle is Executive Director of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world, operating in Los Angeles, CA. In 1988, members of the Dolores Mission Church and Father G found a few caring business owners willing to hire former gang members, and "Jobs for a Future" was created. Thousands of young people have since walked through the doors of Homeboy Industries looking for a second chance, and finding community.
