Yellow Ribbon Project Australia has reached more than 350,000 young people across Australian schools through prevention education and has developed a structured prevention curriculum. We have recorded 1,498 prisoner enrolments across female and youth prisons in Western Australia, and established WA’s first female mentoring program for ex-offenders, with an 89.7% success rate at 10 years post-release. Internationally, we have reached nearly 2,000 prisoners across male, female, and youth prisons in Indonesia, with our work formally recognised by the Indonesian government through a plaque of recognition. We also founded the Second Chance Choir, a 72-member ensemble awarded Best Choir, and our founder has authored two books now held in over 850 Australian schools.
Second Chance Choir is an award-winning choir made up of people who have lived through prison, addiction, domestic violence, and crime, standing alongside their mentors and families. Together they become one voice through song, sharing lived experience in a way words alone cannot. It is about showing that change is real, recovery is possible, and no one is defined by their past.
They perform across Western Australia at large-scale events, both secular and faith-based, using music to connect people, shift perception, and bring communities closer to what restoration actually looks like. It is a choir of hope.
The choir is open to everyone! No experience needed, no auditions, just a willingness to show up and join in. Fill in the form below and we will be in touch with the next steps.
We partner with schools, businesses, churches, and community organisations who share our vision of a generation free from violence, crime, and addiction. Tell us about yourself below and we’ll be in touch.
