Trusted Mentors, in conjunction with Martin University and many community sponsors, hosts the Second Chance Expo Job and Resource Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 25 at the university’s campus at 2186 North Sherman Drive.

The event provides justice-impacted individuals access to job opportunities, workshops and valuable resources for a fresh start.

Martin University President Sean Huddleston knows how important events like the Second Chance Expo are to the community.

“Martin University continues to be a valuable community resource for individuals seeking to improve their lives and provide a better future for their families,” Huddleston said. “We are proud that we are an institution whose mission is centered on offering second chances and giving individuals a new beginning.”
