A new Southeast Kansas education center is looking to provide more resources for students and young adults struggling with behavioral issues. “I just can’t imagine the feeling of no one being there, no one supporting you, no one loving you, knowing no one believing in you. And I really felt like my heart led me to the Second Chance Education Center,” said Mandy Monroy, Second Chance Education Center owner. The Second Chance Education Center in Parsons aims to help kids who have been suspended, who are bouncing around from district to district for behavioral reasons, or young adults who previously dropped out. “In establishing Second Chance, we’ve realized there are a number of other ways that we can support the community. That’s adult education. We had an adult student come in that was just credits away from a high school diploma and we were able to connect him with the right people to get his high school diploma,” said Monroy. The owners add – they’re here to support anyone who needs a second chance.
