MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to rejuvenate the mind and spirit of vulnerable youth as well as gang members who are heading down the path of criminal life. We feel that these criminal gangs, guns and deaths should be confronted in a certain manner. We at 2nd Chance Youth intend to head that initiative. We know that there are too many vulnerable youth, and not enough mentors. One of our main priorities is to accomplish goals by mobilizing the community as well as to implement the programs that are very much needed in our neighborhoods’. We also intend to co-ordinate a response to youth phenomenon and contribute to violence prevention within the community. We at 2nd Chance Youth Organization know that our youth deserve an affirmative future, free from violence and segregation.
