How can we help you

Working together for your better life

One Life Second Chance's Mission:
To guide, educate, and inspire individuals reentering into society to become productive and successful members of the community
S.E.E.S Freedom Program
Our premiere group program that allows our clients to have the opportunity to continue their development in 4 key areas: Social, Educational, Ecomomical, and Spiritual. We use the group dynamic to help guide our clients to a more sustainable, crime-free lifestyle post-incarceration.
1 on 1 Consultations
The 1 on 1 consultations are designed to help clients reach their indivdual goals. These consultations are used to Make A Plan (MAP). There are many levels of success after release and our goal is to provide pathways for each client.
Basic Health Screening and Consultations
We provide all of our newly released clients with a private health consultation. Our volunteer health service providers help our clients understand previous diagnoises and review prescriptions. We also guide our client to health services so they can maintain the best health practices possible.
Basic Life Skills
We also offer our clients basic life skills to aid them with the (re)integration process. We want our clients to be self-sufficient in every way. We recognize that some of clients have never gone grocery shopping, or prepared their own meal, or myriad of things they have never done.
