Couple finds, builds Second Chances
5 Mar 2018
With a dedication to helping others, Second Chances in Granada continues to make a difference.
Second Chances is a non-profit group home for boys ages 12-18, with a goal of each resident gaining enough confidence and skills for a smooth transition back into society and their family.
The group home is licensed through the state, dealing with boys court ordered through the Department of Corrections or Human Services. Second Chances works with counties all over the state, including Freeborn, Watonwan, Brown and Faribault.
Brenda and Gene Duncan, who run the group home, use a house-parent model, in which they live in the home with the boys and provide a home-like environment.
