Introducing the Second Chance Academy

The Second Chance Academy is the new resident program for clients at the Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley. It is built upon our existing resident program model with new features and additional requirements.

The SCA is a 12 month in-house rehabilitation, work therapy and career development program for men and women. SCA clients participate in programs with an emphasis on the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the foundation for life change.

The SCA’s purpose and objectives are:

• To lead individuals into a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.

• To help individuals conquer their addictions.

• Restore them to their families.

• Produce productive members of society

Upon completion of program requirements, each client will “graduate” from the Academy. The requirements for graduation and the “who and what” of the program elements will be explained in subsequent posts.
