Last Time In: Rebuilding Lives, Reuniting Families
No one should be discarded. Yet, for many men who have been incarcerated, society often treats them as if they are. Returning to the community can be a bittersweet journey, filled with hope but also immense challenges. At Man 2 Man - Urban Youth Advocate, we believe in the power of second chances and the transformative potential of fathers to rebuild their lives and reunite with their families.
Through our Last Time In program, we’ve proudly maintained a zero-recidivism rate since 2020. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to breaking cycles of incarceration and creating pathways to lasting change.
Bridging the Gap for Fathers
Last Time In is designed to ease reentry and help fathers avoid the traps that often lead to recidivism. We provide a range of services tailored to meet their unique needs, including:
- Housing Assistance: Ensuring stability as a foundation for rebuilding.
- Transportation Support: Helping fathers access opportunities and reconnect with their families.
- Job Placement Services: Opening doors to meaningful, living-wage employment.
- Conflict Resolution and Co-Parenting Skills: Strengthening family bonds and creating healthier dynamics.
- Anger Management and Emotional Support: Empowering fathers to navigate challenges with confidence.
- Financial Literacy and Legal Support: Providing tools for managing finances, addressing child support, and navigating custody issues.
Why It Matters
Every father we support represents a family strengthened, a child reunited with a parent, and a community healed. Last Time In is more than a program—it’s a promise. A promise that this will be the last time a man faces incarceration. A promise that fathers can rewrite their stories and become the foundation of stronger families and healthier communities.
At Man 2 Man, we believe that no one is beyond redemption and that every father deserves the chance to create a new legacy. Through Last Time In, we transform lives, reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and help families heal—one father, one family, one last time in.
