Hello,

1. Whether you are interested in finding assistance, volunteering your time, making a donation, or just passing by, I welcome you to our community. Big Homie Street Mentoring and Street Ministry are two outreach programs designed to empower individuals to make healthier life choices. We have a diverse group of support volunteers and participants. Additionally, both programs advocate for safer neighborhoods, incarcerated peoples, and minority rights.

Many of our participants come from underserved areas and have a troubled background. Rather than tell the participant what is needed and having the participant engage in what we think is beneficial, we collaborate with participants to set their own goal; then a plan of action is created.

Something unique to our programs is that many of our support volunteers live in the community they serve. Furthermore, majority have been previously incarcerated. These individuals have lived a similar experience to our participants (or what our participants are likely to experience) and have made the choice to help guide others out of the street life through mentoring, outreach, and community engagement.

Feel free browse through the website and follow it up with a call to talk with an organizational member and learn more about our programs, or visit our Events page to see if you can join us! Until then, please be safe and be well.

Sincerely,

Tommy Acosta
