Join 2nd Chance MS for an unforgettable evening at the “Party on the Green” as we work together to make a difference in the community. 

The goal at 2nd Chance MS is to promote and support adult education and workforce training for lower-income Mississippi adults. They are dedicated to working with Mississippi’s 15 Community Colleges to create and finance programs that offer essential financial support and eliminate barriers for deserving adult students.  

These programs have significantly increased the number of Mississippians equipped with the education and training necessary to secure and maintain a family-sustaining job. To date, they have assisted over 2,000 individuals in continuing their educational journey, helping them overcome barriers and transition into the workforce, thus breaking the cycle of poverty.
