Second Chance, Inc.

Second Chance is a nonprofit enterprise working with residents of Baltimore to train them in a wide variety of skill sets, ranging from carpentry to craftsmanship. The group strives to create skilled workers making a living wage with benefits for themselves and their families. By teaching workers to safely deconstruct a building without damaging its historic elements, they become self-supporting members of the community with new skill sets. From its starting operations in Baltimore, Second Chance has expanded its training program to Philadelphia, PA, and Washington, DC, and anticipates opening new retail locations in both cities.
