Defy Tri-State - York Correctional Institution Business Coaching Day

Please join us on Wednesday, May 29, at 9:00 am ET for the Defy Tri-State Business Coaching Day at York Correctional Institution, a women’s facility, in Connecticut!

What's it all about?

At Defy business coaching events, volunteers support the talented, ambitious EITs who are progressing through Defy's CEO of Your New Life program, developing employment readiness skills, and taking the first steps in their entrepreneurial journeys. Volunteers provide one-on-one coaching on EITs' resumes and personal statements and serve as early sounding boards for the business concepts that EITs are beginning to develop. In addition to career coaching and business planning activities, these events also include fun icebreakers and powerful empathy-building activities, which encourage conversations and connections that enhance EITs' self-esteem, ambition, and sense of hope that is critical to their transformational journey. 

Please reach out to Jeanette ([email protected]) with any questions, and we'll see you soon!
