2nd Chance University believes everyone can reach their
mountaintop no matter the obstacles in the way. Our programs rely on trauma
informed care, behavioral best-practice approaches, cultural and holistic
theories, and the most important ingredient threading success: the
human element
.

All Deserve a Chance to Climb

Never forgot the look on my kid’s faces, a boy and a girl ages 10 and 8, when I saw them for prison visitation. When they saw me the first look on their small faces was pain and my daughter’s eyes filled with tears. It broke my heart to see their initial expressions and I too choked up. I vowed in my heart once out, I would do what it took to stay out and be a good father.

2nd Chance University is a nonprofit
partnering with organizations and institutions dedicated to empower those who
have stumbled. Our material and workshops take advantage of real people, real
life, and real issues.
