Our Commitment
SECOND CHANCE challenges stereotypes and confronts the stigma associated with a criminal record. This month serves as a collective call to communities, employers, policymakers, and individuals to reevaluate and reform their perceptions and practices toward former inmates.
SECOND CHANCE MONTH is to transform societal perceptions, making society more inclusive and forgiving. It aims to provide tangible support through initiatives like resume clinics, employer education programs, and advocacy for fair chance hiring practices. These efforts are designed to open doors for individuals seeking a second chance and highlight the mutual benefits of such inclusivity to the community and the economy.
Galvanize ACTION
Encourage EMPATHY
Foster a CULTURE of support & opportunity
It is a CALL TO ACTION for all of society to recognize the potential within each person and work together to create a more just, equitable, and compassionate world.
The Wilmington Promise:
Unlocking Potential Together
I pledge to support Second Chance Month by recognizing and unlocking the potential within every member of our Wilmington community. I commit to being open, offering opportunities, and advocating for policies that support reentry and rehabilitation. Together, we can transform lives and strengthen our community.
