Why We Exist
Take2 is a social venture that provides justice-impacted individuals with the support, resources and opportunity to improve their quality of life.
Hurt People Hurt People
Justice-impacted individuals need our acceptance and support to get back on their feet. Instead, they are often ridiculed, stigmatised and ostracised from our society, creating a significant social and fiscal cost.
Punishment Is Expensive,
Rehabilitation Is Not.
Almost all individuals will return to the community from the justice system. To break the cycle of crime and to create safer communities for everyone, we need to better invest in this population.
If we want people to come out of the prison system and to do better and be better, then we – as a society – have to take an active role in making that happen.
From Behind Bars And Beyond
Take2 is there every step of the journey, helping individuals in finding ways to overcome their challenges and secure employment opportunities.
The Past Should Not Define
Who Someone Is Today
Take2 is committed to improving the well-being, confidence and skills of justice-impacted individuals to create hope for a bright and better future for themselves and their whānau.
We are committed to work with employers to help unlock the talent in the justice system and overcome the stigma of criminal convictions, ultimately helping justice-impacted individuals back into society and breaking the cycles of crime.
