History

: SC RBC was established in 2000, when it brought 10 of the city’s halfway houses into one nonprofit. This initial focus was on adults and supporting adults in their reentry into society.

In 2005, the programming was expanded with the collaborative partnership with the RBC School District, the Police Department and the RBC Juvenile Justice system. The RBC School District had instituted zero-tolerance policies for weapons, drugs and other school violations. As a result, they had experienced an increase in expulsions and drop-outs while the juvenile justice system saw an increase in juvenile offenders. To address this school-to-prison pipeline, Second Chance RBC began offering alternative programming for students with non-violent school offenses. After several years of this public-private partnership, the RBC School District began to see a decrease with students entering the juvenile justice system. Nevertheless, RBC School District was interested furthering this success to translate into decreases in expulsions and drop-outs. In 2008, Second Chance RBC launched its First Chance programming, providing character development, counseling and anger management. While the First and Second Chance programs are in all the high schools, there are culturally competent First Chance programs offered at Orrin Collins High School for the school’s Latino and African-American students, and at Swann High with a focus on the school’s Somali students.
