Fr. Greg Boyle is the social visionary who started Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention and re-entry program in the country, based on the belief that no life is less valuable than another. Through his experiences in the poorest neighborhoods of Los Angeles, he learned about the importance of fighting despair and published a book of essays about universal kinship and redemption entitled "Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion."

The Council for Children's Rights believes in the value and promise of ALL the children of Charlotte, and we look forward to honoring Father Greg's dedication to unlocking potential.
