NewLife-Second Chance Outreach, Inc.

Despite requests to learn more about investing and over 40 people registering, attendance was low or non existent. Therefore, we have decided to also enjoy our Sundays by cancelling the remainder of the sessions. We thank those who did attend to learn more about stock investing and congratulate those who have seen profit from the investments made. We wish you all the best on your investing journeys.

Happy birthday to our board director Dr. Chalana McFarland Cosby! May today bring you all the blessings and gifts you deserve! We are extremely blessed to have you as a part of our team and appreciate you volunteering your time and talents to leading and growing this organization. Happy birthday!

Registration now open for attendees and volunteers for July 28th Columbus, GA Reentry Simulation, Training and Townhall. Free & open to the public. Breakfast & Lunch included. RSVP (and apply to volunteer) by July 7th.

In partnership with REFORM and Asbury United Methodist Church, we invite you to attend our July 28th Reentry Simulation, Community Training and Townhall, an immersive interactive, hands-on role-playing educational experience designed to increase awareness, empathy, and understanding of the significant barriers individuals face when returning to their communities after incarceration. Following the simulation, there will be a brief debriefing and town hall to hear from returning citizens, family members, and elected officials, and to discuss takeaways and solutions.

This powerful simulation is intended to educate and engage elected officials, law enforcement, social service agencies, corrections staff, probation and parole officers, faith communities, advocacy organizations, policymakers, key stakeholders and concerned citizens who play a role in shaping systems, policies, and opportunities that impact justice-impacted individuals and families. By "walking in the shoes" of a justice-impacted individual trying to reenter society, this training offers a unique opportunity to deepen understanding, inspire solutions, and strengthen collaboration among community stakeholders committed to creating safer, healthier, and more equitable communities.
