[tab title=”Second Chance”]

Many young people who have been in custody find it hard to get a job, rebuild relationships, or find somewhere to live. Readjusting to mainstream life can be hard. They may struggle to find a job or a place in the community and thus risk returning to crime.

Second Chance project aims to:

• Improve life chances for young people aged 16 – 25 by offering mediation support and consultation for young people, who have left prison/youth offending institutions. Thereby assisting them to re-integrate into the community; diminishing the possibilities, of a return to a life of crime.
• There will be a focus on helping them to get work and access courses, relevant to their needs and aspirations. Such as literacy and numeracy courses. Remembering that 60% of the imprisoned have basic literacy and numeracy problems. Writing and updating C.V.s and improving interviewing skills.
• Offer a 12 week course, which helps the young people develop crucial skills, build confidence and also gain a qualification, on completion of the course in year four of the YP2 funding.
• Offer a holistic approach. Looking at the hurdles young people may have to surmount, such as homelessness, isolation and mental health issues.
