Second Chance Program : Life Skills & Vocational Training Center : What We Do : Hope Services

Breaking Free

The "Second Chance Program" provides hands-on instruction, professional mentorship, and job placement assistance for individuals ready to break cycles of incarceration and unemployment. Participants in the program will have the opportunity to earn certifications that are highly regarded by employers across Florida and beyond.

Through our Culinary Certification Program, students will gain experience in commercial kitchen operations, food safety, and culinary techniques. The Construction Certification Program will provide essential skills in carpentry, safety, and job site operations, in partnership with industry leaders like Habitat for Humanity.

Both programs are designed not only to teach technical skills but to reinforce personal growth, responsibility, and a renewed sense of purpose.
