Homies Unidos

Homies Unidos provides community-based work focused on promoting peace and reducing violence in Los Angeles and communities' countries of origin. Its Community Response Initiative addresses the impact of violence in the community, and its activities include community events and an annual toy distribution. The organization also supports immigrant leadership, including through a Central American Youth Leadership Conference, and shares information about justice, equality, and the experiences of immigrant youth. Its work centers on immigrant and system-impacted communities. Based in Los Angeles, Homies Unidos connects community response, youth leadership, and advocacy as part of its violence reduction efforts.
