Who We Are
Second Chance-Last Opportunity (SCLO) is a community-based, 501©3, Life Skills Education and Training Center that was founded in 1995 by April Glasco, a local resident who continues as Executive Director today. SCLO is located in the Newtown section of Sarasota, Florida where the average household income is $10,000 or less per year, according to the latest census figures. Over the past 14 years, SCLO has served over 12,000 low income or homeless clients with multiple social and economic problems in both Sarasota and Manatee Counties. SCLO aims to help this often invisible population reach their potential and build a future for themselves and their families through life skills and job preparation training, youth programs, and counseling.

The main core of the organization is the programs offered that provide life skills to both adults and youth, preparing them to become productive, independent citizens and gain a sense of self-worth. In addition to the Life Management Training that is at the heart of the organization, the agency offers referral services for housing, food, and baby supplies, etc. SCLO has deep roots in the community enabling it to bridge the gap between partnering agencies and the most vulnerable in the community.

    Second Chance Last Oppourtunity of Sarasota Florida



  • Our food pantry is bare!  Please consider organizing a non-perishable food drive at your place of work, neighborhood, school, place of worship, club, etc. to help us re-stock our shelves.  With the holidays coming up, the need is greater than ever.
    We have four drop off locations in Sarasota.
  • We are collecting new, unwrapped toys and baby items for the children of our clients who will be graduating from the life skills classes in December. Perhaps you can donate or start a collection at work?
