A Social Ignition runs two core programs: The Ignition Option and The Long Haul.
The Ignition Option: 36 hours in class working on entrepreneurial projects. We bring business leaders into every class for a diverse set of experiences that foster better business solutions to the world’s problems.
The Long Haul: Individual and small group coaching towards our graduates' particular goals. This program provides support bridging release from incarceration.
This entrepreneurial series introduces men to the rigors of starting a business. Unlike traditional “how to start a business” education, we put students through the fast-paced, resource-strapped decision-making process to learn if an idea makes a viable business. Mentors lend their experience during each session to enhance the connection to the larger business ecosystem. The 36-hour, 12 session series culminates in a Presentation Day, where the men pitch their business ideas to a room full of distinguished guests.
