RISE

This October, RISE participants at NSP will stand up and pitch the businesses they've spent months building. We're looking for volunteers to be in the room when they do.

Volunteering inside a facility takes some planning. Clearance has to be arranged ahead of time, so we need folks signed up by August 17. The event is October 16 at NSP. Details and the volunteer form are here: https://volunteer.bloomerang.co/volunteer/ #/join-party?k=u7kfgpnhx42kg8.

These graduates have put months into their plans, and what they need now is an audience willing to hear them out.

Tomorrow is the last day to register!

RISE participants are building business plans while incarcerated, but they do not have internet access to look up market data. We need volunteers to help with online research this July.

You will receive questions from participants about pricing, licensing, and competition on July 9. You have until August 3rd to find the answers using Google. The work takes two to three hours and you can complete it on your own schedule from home. Sign up by July 8, 2026: https://volunteer.bloomerang.co/volunteer/ #/join-party?k=7zb2jphtoz7ee3
