Championing Second Chances: Gregory Singleton, 2025 Champion for Attainment

Gregory Singleton is living proof that second chances change lives — and he's making sure others get theirs, too. As a 2025 Champion for Attainment, Gregory expands education and workforce opportunities for underemployed, unemployed, and justice-involved individuals across North Carolina.

Through programs like Keys to Freedom and Job Readiness Boot Camps, Gregory equips participants with the practical skills needed to secure meaningful employment and build lasting careers. His work goes beyond skill-building: he’s an advocate, a mentor, and a catalyst for systemic change.

Inspired by his own journey, Gregory champions second chances by helping to establish local reentry councils, ensuring that communities offer real support — not just empty promises — to those starting fresh.

With every life he impacts, Gregory Singleton reminds us that expanding opportunity isn't just good policy — it’s powerful, personal, and essential for a thriving future.
