Foundation for Second Chances

Organization Description: 

Foundation for Second Chances was founded in 2004 by grassroots community activist, Melissa Wyatt. After witnessing the lack of resources available to youth in Los Angeles‚’ inner-city, Wyatt was determined to bridge the gap in these children‚’s lives. Through FFSC‚’s four dynamic programs, children are now provided with tools to enhance their education, build self-esteem, and become community leaders. FFSC empowers youth to realize their full potential through the support and ‚"second chances‚" they deserve.
