Programs

At Second Chance Services, we offer a comprehensive set of programs designed to meet the real-life needs of individuals impacted by incarceration or justice involvement. Our goal is to help people rebuild their lives through consistent support, access to resources, and connection to community. Learn more about each of our core program areas below:

Mentorship

We believe that personal transformation is most powerful when it happens in relationship. Our mentorship program connects individuals with trained mentors who have lived experience or professional backgrounds in reentry, recovery, or personal development. Mentors offer guidance, accountability, encouragement, and help navigating life’s everyday challenges. This one-on-one connection is often the difference between relapse and progress, isolation and hope.

Employment Resources

Stable employment is one of the biggest factors in successful reentry. Our employment support services help clients build or update resumes, prepare for interviews, and learn soft skills that improve job readiness. We also connect participants to fair-chance employers who are open to hiring individuals with prior convictions. Whether someone is looking for their first job post-release or trying to build a long-term career, we are here to help every step of the way.

Therapy Resources

Mental health is a critical—but often overlooked—component of successful reintegration. We provide access to licensed therapists, trauma-informed care, and group therapy options for those who are ready to work through past experiences and build healthier coping mechanisms. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or the emotional toll of incarceration, our therapy resources are a safe and supportive starting point.

Financial Services

Financial instability can be a major barrier to reentry success. That’s why we offer practical tools and personalized support to help participants take control of their money. Our financial coaching services include budgeting support, credit-building education, debt management advice, and access to safe banking options. We help people understand their financial picture and build toward long-term stability and independence.

Support Groups

Healing happens in community. Our peer-led and professionally facilitated support groups offer a judgment-free space to talk through challenges, share resources, and build a strong sense of belonging. We offer groups focused on specific topics such as addiction recovery, trauma healing, parenting after incarceration, and more. Many participants find these groups to be one of the most meaningful parts of their reentry journey.

Together, these programs are designed to remove barriers, restore dignity, and provide practical, emotional, and social support to anyone seeking a second chance. To learn more about how we can help—or how you can get involved—contact us today.
