About Us
Lisa M. Perry, Director/President
Lisa has a heart for reentrants and encouraging them to believe in themselves as children of God. She believes everyone has been given a talent by God (Matthew 25:14-30) and one day each of us will be asked what have we done with our talents. Lisa has been a Yokefellowship Prison Ministry - Lehigh Valley volunteer since November 2008 in Lehigh County Jail and became Board Chairperson in October 2011. She resigned as Board Chairperson in December 2014 to focus on her "calling" of re-entry. On February 12, 2015, Second Chance Training Center, Inc. was registered as a non-profit corporation. Also later in 2015 she started going back into Lehigh County Jail to facilitate Bible studies, in December 2015 was voted back on the Board and in May 2016 was voted in as Council Director of Yokefellowship Prison Ministry - Lehigh Valley Council. Lisa resigned as Council Director on December 31, 2018, to totally focus on the mission of Second Chance Training Center, Inc.
