Who We Are

We are a team of experienced social workers, trained survivors, undergraduate and graduate interns, and other professionals in the field that advocate for victims and change on local, state, and national levels.

The Second Chance Advisory Board consists of experts, researchers, practitioners, and other community members committed to addressing prostitution, sex trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation in the community and abroad.

What We Do

Second Chance offers comprehensive services to women victimized by prostitution, girls at risk of being victims of sex trafficking and girls who have been victimized by sex trafficking.

Second Chance develops individualized service plans for each woman or youth involved in programming.
