Justin Baldoni is helping people both on and off screen.
The Jane the Virgin star recently spent time with homeless mothers and children of Midnight Mission,
a Los Angeles organization that aims to help impoverished families
through counseling, job placement, housing, and education, where he
played games with the kids, build sandcastles and hula hooped.
"As storytellers we have a responsibility to be of
service," said Baldoni in the video, noting that his upbringing in the
Baha'i faith lead him to found the socially conscious production
company, Wayfarer Entertainment.
"It's very easy.... especially in this business to
get caught up in how the world sees you," Baldoni continues in the
video. "If we can stop thinking about ourselves... then the whole world
will change."
Meanwhile, Baldoni's co-star Gina Rodriguez is doing her own part to give back, launching a campaign in January aimed at spreading positive messages to the Latino community.
"It's me doing it to uplift and highlight and
empower other Latinos," the 31-year-old actress told ET about the
campaign. "To send the message that there's a lot of wonderful and
positive things going on in our community -- that's what we should focus
on."
