Second Chance-Last Opportunity (SCLO) is a 501 © 3 tax exempt organization whose mission is to teach life management skills to at-risk teens, teen mothers, homeless and low income families in our community who often face multiple health, social and economic challenges.
The philosophy at Second Chance-Last Opportunity is to provide a hand up, not a hand out. The non-profit agency holds the view that in order to make a permanent change, the disadvantaged in our community must be given the opportunity to learn to be self-sufficient. SCLO provides them with the tools, guidance, and the opportunity they need to make a better life for themselves and their families.
