Turn your daily coffee into someone’s second shot at life.

Every bag of Second Shot Coffee helps fund Life101 programmes supporting people to rebuild their lives.

How it works

Life101 Programmes

Since 2014, Life101 has delivered one-day and four-day programmes in prisons and community corrections centres, helping people build real-world skills and self-confidence to create a more positive future.

Our Impact

Thousands of people in prisons and Community Corrections centres across NZ have taken part in Life101 programmes. Measurable results, participant feedback, and long-term stories show what change looks like in practice — see it for yourself. Every purchase of Second Shot Coffee helps make this work possible.
