🎉 WE DID IT! 🎉 The 2026 Second Chance Tucson Reentry Job & Resource Fair was a powerful reminder of what is possible when our community comes together to remove barriers and create pathways forward. 💚We were honored to welcome Mayor Regina Romero and receive an official proclamation presented by Pima County Supervisor recognizing September 10, 2026, as the “2026 Second Chance Tucson Reentry Job & Resource Fair.”✨ The proclamation recognizes that meaningful employment is essential to successful reentry—and that employers, service providers, government partners, and community organizations all play an important role in helping justice-impacted individuals build stable, productive lives.
Our deepest thanks to:
💚 Every job seeker who showed up ready to take a courageous next step
💚 The employers committed to fair-chance hiring
💚 The resource providers connecting people with essential services
💚 Our sponsors, partners, volunteers, presenters, and supporters
💚 Mayor Romero, Supervisor Cano, and the Pima County Board of Supervisors for recognizing the importance of this work

This fair was more than a one-day event. It was a community declaration that people are more than their past, talent deserves an opportunity, and successful reentry benefits all of Pima County.💚Thank you for helping us expand opportunities, strengthen connections, reduce barriers, and make second chances possible.
- We are also incredibly grateful to the partners who helped make this year’s event possible, including 🌟 Gold Sponsors: Church of the Apostles, Episcopal Oro Valley, AZ , , , Member Paul Cunningham, Ward 2 ⭐ Silver Sponsors: , ! Tattoo Removal🤝 Bronze Sponsor: Dismas Charities 🌵 In-Kind Sponsor: Tanque Verde Ranch
