Voices for a Second Chance

Voices for a Second Chance works to to reduce the recidivism rate in the District. We know from our long experience serving individuals in the criminal justice system who are given services pre-and-post release from incarceration make a successful transition to positively contributing citizens to our economy and community.
We remain committed to our long history of providing essential human services to meet basic human needs. We've been doing this work for 50 years -- standing in the gap before people even knew there was one. VSC has been a bridge for many, and we will continue to advocate for real second chances for our justice-involved individuals and their families.
