Our partners
Ministry of Social Development
Second Chance Workshop has always pursued the mission of providing quality training to unemployed people to better prepare them to integrate into the labor market and achieve independence.
Whatever the efforts undertaken, our business partnership with the Department of Social Development and the Department of Post-Secondary Education has always been important to us. The department reaffirms their commitment to full collaboration on a regular basis.
The Nazareth House
Second Chance Workshop and The Nazareth House have always maintained a friendly and professional relationship. Ensuring the fight against poverty among the most disadvantaged in our society continues to be our shared missions. Today, a special partnership is in place. Residents of the shelter who qualify to follow the "Light Program" are referred to us in order to participate as students.
​
The ECO 360 landfill center
The commercial relationship between Second Chance Workshop and ECO 360 is such that a partnership was concluded in 2018 with the Mobile Depot. Recyclable items are kept and reserved for Enviro Plus who restore each item and sell them. The Depot serves 18 surrounding communities in southeastern NB. In addition, ECO 360 participates in job placement for graduate clients of the Light Program.
​​
Rising Tide-Moncton
In conjunction with the New Brunswick Housing Corporation, the organization Rising Tide helps Second Chance Workshop find suitable accommodation for trainees enrolled in the “Light Program”.
Victim Services and Community Policing
This service becomes indispensable when a student encounters difficulties concerning the law. Often an offense from the past can hold some people back. These agents become our allies as consultants or interveners when inappropriate or unacceptable behavior appears.
​
City of Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview
The three cities contributed an amount of $42,000 to Atelier Seconde Chance, which enabled the organization to purchase a van that transports students living in temporary housing as well as those who are not trained to take the bus.
​
Université de Moncton - Moncton Campus
The Université de Moncton plays an important role in the progress of Second Chance Workshop . In particular, the Université de Moncton facilitates study groups from various faculties and university programs such as the Faculty of Administration and the Master's in Environmental Studies.
Each semester, Second Chance Workshop welcomes students through the Pairing Program to assist international students in their process of community integration.
Additionally, twice a year, we are invited to the Career Fair organized by the Career Management Department at the university. The benefits for the student population are numerous. Second Chance Workshop is grateful to the Université de Moncton for their continued support.

Our community support
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul – Since 2016
As the official sponsors of the only conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in New Brunswick, in collaboration with the national council, our mission extends beyond the unemployed. Second Chance Workshop provides particular support to the most disadvantaged people in our community by giving them renewed hope for life.
​
YWCA Moncton
One of the goals of the YWCA is to offer safe and affordable housing to women and individuals of diverse genders, giving them the opportunity to change their lives, for themselves and their children. Second Chance Workshop is proud to participate in this project by offering them furniture at a 10% discount.
​
The John Howard Society
Occasionally, clients of the John Howard Society who need to acquire favorable knowledge and skills are referred to us to join the Light Program . The support provided by Second Chance Workshop offers them a positive approach by spending a few weeks with us, without judgment and without prejudiced profiling.
​
Salvation Army
We are pleased to join the Salvation Army through the "Welcome Home" project initiative, which provides starter assistance to people transitioning to housing after being homeless or in unstable housing situations. Second Chance Workshop offers them furniture at a considerable discount and reasonable delivery fees.
​
Newcomers
Many newcomers to the region have difficulty finding furniture in good condition and at reasonable prices. Our way of helping these individuals is by offering them a price reduction on their purchases. Additionally, if they do not have a way to pick up their chosen items, we provide free delivery.
