Why We Exist
Take2 is a social venture that provides justice-impacted individuals with the support, resources, and opportunities 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 create safer communities for everyone, we need to invest more effectively in this population.
If we want people to leave the prison system and do better, then we — as a society — must take an active role in making that happen.
From Behind Bars And Beyond
Take2 is there every step of the journey, helping individuals find 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, creating hope for a brighter and better future for themselves and their whānau.
We are committed to working with employers to unlock the talent within the justice system and overcome the stigma of criminal convictions — ultimately helping justice-impacted individuals reintegrate into society and break the cycles of crime.
