About Second Hands

 

Montana Tarpley is a dedicated individual currently working towards a Bachelor's degree in Business Management at Strayer University. In 2013, Montana's life took an unexpected turn, leading to a label as a felon in society. 

 

However, Montana's resilience, determination, and the support of a strong community of accountability partners enabled a remarkable transformation, allowing Montana to reclaim control of life and overcome the challenges presented.

 

Following the restoration of rights, Montana has been deeply involved in volunteering and working in various youth-focused roles, driven by a passionate commitment to keeping young individuals out of trouble and guiding them towards positive paths. With a strong determination to reform and rebuild the youth community, Montana is dedicated to ensuring that personalized plans are in place to meet the unique needs of each client.

Driven by a deep commitment to youth empowerment and community betterment, Montana Tarpley has established Second Hands as a Diversion program, seeking to support individuals who have been affected by the justice system and prevent the creation of a criminal record.
