Defy SoCal Kern Valley State Prison Business Coaching Day

Please join us on Thursday, November 6, at 9:00 am PT for the Defy SoCal Business Coaching Day at Kern Valley State Prison!

What's it all about?

At a Business Coaching Day (BCD), you'll connect one-on-one with Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs) who are building their futures through Defy's CEO of Your New Life program.

Volunteers help EITs:

  • Polish their resumes and personal statements

  • Refine early business ideas

  • Build confidence through connection and conversation

The day includes energizing icebreakers and empathy-building moments that foster real human connection. Your support boosts EITs' self-esteem and motivation as they take bold steps toward a new chapter.
