In case you missed Second Chance - a film about changing young lives created by youth in the Multnomah County juvenile justice system - you can watch it here [1].

In 2005 Worksystems Inc. (the non-profit entity dedicated to workforce investment and training) in partnership with local employers, designed and launched a career exposure program called WorkSuccess for Portland area at-risk youth. Worksystems obtained funding for this pilot career exposure pathway program from the US Department of Labor and operates the program through regional alternative schools and youth providers.

In 2007, Worksystems [2] partnered with the Northwest Film Center's Young Filmmakers Program, Multnomah County Department of Community Justice, Juvenile Services Division, and the Multnomah County Percent for Art Program to engage teenagers from the juvenile justice system to make a film about WorkSuccess.
