MAKE A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
2nd Call serves high-risk ex-offenders, with a continuum of free services and programs, including courses for job readiness, life skills, anger management, teenage pregnancy prevention and domestic violence.
The Process
2nd Call is a community based organization that assists in the personal development of high risk individuals. In particular, 2nd Call ensures that formerly incarcerated individuals transition back into society post-release by providing opportunities for their advancement through employment. To achieve this end, 2nd Call offers its participants 1) life skills workshops that address issues related to anger management, financial responsibility, and behavioral skills; and 2) assistance securing vocational careers through unionized apprenticeships in allied trades including electrical work, plumbing, pipefitting, painting, construction, and manufacturing. Through its services, 2nd Call has been able to place formerly incarcerated individuals into sustainable careers instead of low-paying jobs--which is generally what is offered to this population or no job at all. 2nd Call facilitates courses in the following Los Angeles communities: South Los Angeles, Compton, Watts and Inglewood, Pasadena and throughout Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties.
