We were excited to host our second Leadership Summit at BRJD today. Josh Pritchett, CEO of VEOCareers and a dedicated board member at Second Chancer Foundation went in to share his story and path to success. More importantly he shared his knowledge and perspective and encouraged the kids to reach out to him upon release. He is walking the walk to help those who are where he has been and it could not have gone better. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and makes events like this possible!

We’re looking at expanding the scope of our services. We love working in the local community and are also receiving requests from people outside of our geographic region. So, if you’re interesting in reentry classes or know someone who is, let us know and once we gauge interest we’ll look at scheduling weekly classes. Thank you!

Bryan is back on the grind with our reentry guys as we evaluate the program and see what further services and support will make the biggest difference. We are grateful to the dedication of the guys who show how they want to better their lives and grow into a position where they can help others by sharing their hard-won experience.

We are offering weekly reentry classes for adult returning citizens. We are also excited to be going through the approval process to begin working in the local juvenile detention center. We have visited our maximum twice before approval and have started building a rapport with the kids. We’re excited to offer reentry classes, partner with a violence interruption group, and provide direct mentorship. We’re looking at options for volunteers to connect and provide mentorship that can bridge the transition from incarceration to release. More information to follow!
