Homies Empowerment

    • About Us

    Homies Empowerment is an independent, grassroots community-based organization out of East Oakland. We started as a volunteer-run, Jefferson Award winning, after-school program taking on an approach and a way of seeing gang-impacted youth through an asset-based lens. Our team has been developing HECHOS, Homies Empowerment Community High for Our Success, a community school for youth who have been pushed out of traditional schools. With the onset of COVID-19, we went from being exclusively a youth-development and educational focused organization to one that stands in solidarity with the entire community to help meet their urgent food and basic needs. Homies is operating our Community Care Center, Learning Center, and several food access programs out of our FREEdom Store: Tuesday food distribution, Love Packages, and Loaves and Fishes.
