We would like to invite you to share in our success by seeing our last class of 2006, class #102. To really know and feel how Second Chance is changing lives, you need to see it from the start (Orientation Day) and then witness the amazing transformation and hard work of our clients by attending their graduation from the San Diego STRIVE program. Orientation takes place on Friday, Dec. 1st, between 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (you can come at any time within those 3 hours to observe and leave whenever you like). Graduation will be Friday, Dec. 22nd at 11:00 a.m. Both orientation and graduation are here at our office at 6145 Imperial Avenue. We would love to see you here!
