Captain Shanley is involved in many nonprofits in San Diego, He started Homework San Diego to help formerly incarcerated individuals work towards better lives. Captain Shanley says his life's purpose is to be a "voice for the voiceless."
Captain Shanley has partnered with local unions to help former inmates build careers. He believes one mistake shouldn’t stop people from providing for themselves and their families.
There are four core philosophies that Homework San Diego focuses on: life skills, rebuilding families, rebuilding communities to give back what has been torn down through criminal activity, and civic engagement. Every Friday night, members of the Homework SD family meet to discuss their challenges and their opportunities.
