Our Solution

2nd Opportunity’s programming is geared toward anyone who has experienced a life-changing setback and wants to start down a new path, as well as the family members and friends looking to support them. While many individuals will fall into more than one group, we suggest you select the one that is currently presenting the most challenges in your or your loved one’s life.

In addition to individuals, we work with like-minded organizations to provide our programming to their populations and work with employers to raise awareness about hiring from traditionally marginalized groups.
