Our Mission

It is the mission of 1 Life 2 Chances, Inc. to combat recidivism by: (1) introducing our participants to healthy behaviors, (2) providing resources to help participants acclimate to life outside of jail, (3) educating participants on the latest practices for applying for employment and interviewing, and (4) facilitating meaningful volunteer opportunities for those interested in effectuating change in our justice system.

1 Life 2 Chances recognizes that ex-offenders face many obstacles when re-entering society and we want to empower those that really want to do better, to do better. We can’t help everyone but for those that are willing to change, we hope to guide them to a life they can be proud of.
