Jobs at Second Chance Studios

Second Chance Studios is a nonprofit digital media company that trains and employs formerly incarcerated individuals. Our goal is to become the preeminent digital media ground for formerly incarcerated individuals, as well as a transformative model for decreasing recidivism specifically through high-growth industries. Our model addresses an urgent social need with a truly innovative solution: We will place formerly incarcerated people in new media professions such as podcasting and video editing, where employment opportunities are forecasted to grow up to 3x the average of all occupations in the next decade. We are a small, scrappy team that is building meaningful opportunities for systems-impacted people, namely those who were formerly incarcerated. In addition to our holistic training program, the studio will provide services for original content creation, video production, podcast recording, and digital advertising. SCS leverages the explosive growth in the new media industry to bring economic empowerment to returning citizens, their families, and communities. Our launch was covered in Forbes and Fast Company and coincided with a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $60,000 from more than 400 backers. We're building a movement, and we hope you join us.
