Empowering teens is what we do!

In School Support

Let’s rally to shield our teens! It’s no secret that alcohol and drugs sneak into their lives like uninvited party crashers. Research says the average age for first-time sips and puffs is just thirteen, and a whopping 9 out of 10 addictions kick off during the teen years! Many parents might brush off this experimentation as a "just a phase," but hold your horses! Those teenage brains and bodies are still growing, and it’s crucial to keep them safe. That’s where Second Chance Inc. struts in, teaming up with students, teachers, parents, and staff to tackle the alcohol and drug dilemma head-on! Let’s get to work!
