Text Box: SECOND CHANCE PROGRAM

Text Box: The Men’s House has been in full operation for the past two years. Applicants are screened and must be willing to work and attend required support meetings. There are always more requests than beds, so bare with us. We are presently in need of a heating and air unit for the house. All donations are appreciated. The house Director is Ronald Fields and he can be reached at (919) 693-1998.

Text Box: The Women’s House has experience a lot of activity this year due to the economy and domestic violence. We anticipate that things will get worst before they get better. I am happy to report that, presently, all in the house are employed and diligently working on their goals. This year we were able to assign personal mentors to each man and woman to assist them In putting plans in place. The women are planning a number of events.

Text Box: SECOND CHANCE GRADUATION Second Chance held graduation for its second class on May 9, 2008, at First Baptist in Oxford, North Carolina. Second Chance is a program designed to assist ex-felons who desire an opportunity to start over. Many of those who committed a crime (mostly drug related) over ten or more years ago and have lived exemplary lives since. Some are even in college; however, they are denied a second chance because of their past. Candidates for this program are screened before taking the nine-week program which aids them in developing skills in seeking gainful

employment. Please note that the class is not a guarantee for employment. Students will receive a certificate and letter of recommendation upon graduation. Applications may be obtained by calling (919) 690-1982. We welcome those who would like to become a volunteer, mentor or instructor. For additional information about the program, please call Angela Harris at (919) 603-1522.
