The Second Chance Foundation

Program Overview

Second Chance offers expelled, suspended, and homebound students ages 12-17 and young adults ages 17- 25 an opportunity to prepare to reenter school through participation in a structured Day Treatment Program of individual and family counseling, group therapy, Academic Grade Recovery , career exploration, life skills classes, GED preparation classes, community service opportunities, and therapeutic recreation. Second Chance is designed to provide individualized services to students and families to address the underlying personal, behavioral and family problems that resulted in expulsion from school.

Students who have returned to school receive AfterCare Services. Our AfterCare Coordinator supports students in-school through ongoing collaboration with school administrators and teachers. AfterCare students are assisted with after-school and summer job search and retention support, receive other social services support as necessary, and are referred back for counseling as appropriate.
