A Second
Chance at Life
Take2 helps unlock the full potential of individuals within our justice system.
Why Second Chances Matter
About Us
Take2 was established in 2019 to break the cycles of crime and intergenerational poverty, and the stigma that surrounds them.
Our Programme
We teach our students advanced technology and life skills while supporting their reintegration journey upon release.
Our Impact
Our participants say it best.
There’s something deeply spiritual about our class — maybe it’s the diversity of heritage and faith, or the self-imposed tikanga we hold ourselves and each other accountable to. Whatever it is, you can’t deny the sincerity and mana of everyone involved with Take2.
Take2 really feels like a second chance at life and has been a healing experience for me. I feel happy, confident, and can see a brighter and better future for myself and my family.
Learning isn’t a one-way road in Take2; it’s an open road between teachers and students that allows both to learn and grow together. This concept has profoundly accelerated my growth and development.
