2nd Chance University’s alternative to incarceration, youth reintegration & empowerment, and adult pre/post release programs, workshops, and courseware incorporate life-changing applications grounded by trauma informed care and holistic best-practices to break the cycle of recidivism.
In 2012, 2nd Chance University built a foundation for Christian HELP and the Central Florida Jobs Initiative to be launched, instilling hope for a brighter future while empowering the disenfranchised to bring about personal and professional success.
Numbers over the first two years:
- 485 total participants
- 384 completed the course successfully (79%)
- 253 participants placed (66)
Over the years, our holistic program expanded to multiple venues throughout Florida and has now been modified to address the unique needs of the justice involved on a local, regional, and national scale — a natural extension of its commitment to progressing the world.
Supported by turn-key operations, our programs decrease recidivism, build strong communities, and save millions of taxpayer dollars.
2nd Chance University participants undergo a fundamental psychological and behavioral paradigm shift through our innovative courseware measured by our proprietary Commitment, Hope, and Empowerment (CHE) Quotient.
- Immediate taxpayer savings: Under $10.00/day per offender in our three-month, 18 booklet program (digital as well as hard copy)

Recidivism isn’t new, our approach is.
