They are dedicated to working with Mississippi&#8217;s 15 Community Colleges to create and finance programs that offer essential financial support and eliminate barriers for deserving adult students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These programs have significantly increased the number of Mississippians equipped with the education and training necessary to secure and maintain a family-sustaining job. To date, they have assisted over 2,000 individuals in continuing their educational journey, helping them overcome barriers and transition into the workforce, thus breaking the cycle of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and tickets, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2ndchancems.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.2ndchancems.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.2ndchancems.org\/<\/a>, or contact Program Director <strong>Sarah Rose Lomenick<\/strong> at srlomenick@2ndChanceMS.org&nbsp;or call 662-417-4549.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event to help promote and support adult education and workforce training efforts for lower-income Mississippians across the state<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":142928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7803],"tags":[2486,5,4,3],"class_list":["post-142917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-charity-events","tag-fundraiser","tag-mississippi","tag-oxford","tag-the-local-voice"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/2nd-Chance-MS-logo-1.jpg?fit=959%2C959&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/238"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142917"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142944,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142917\/revisions\/142944"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
