Jeanice Lee talks with Bill Payne, President and CEO of Second Chance, which provides reentry services, workforce training, housing support, and education to justice-involved individuals and at-risk youth. Payne discusses the organization’s programs, including job readiness training, transitional housing, supportive services, professional clothing assistance, and its Youth Garden program. Payne also shares Second Chance’s mission to break cycles of incarceration and poverty, while helping participants achieve self-sufficiency. A compelling detail is that nearly 40% of Second Chance staff have lived experience with the criminal justice system and now help others transform their lives. (SecondChanceProgram.org)
