RISE Academy Business Program

RISE is a non-profit prison re-entry program currently serving 7 prisons in Nebraska. We prepare and train people reentering through intensive character development, employment readiness, job creation through entrepreneurship and case management.

About

The Rise Academy Business Program will offer a range of support and community resources for RISE program participants and graduates to start their own business. Class will be every Monday from 6:00PM-8:00PM in a socially distanced training room as well as via Google hangouts.
