SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

We call them volunteers, but in reality, these mentors, business and community leaders, friends and family members are really the secret sauce at Defy. Thanks to them, we are able to leverage substantial legal, business and finance, marketing and PR, logistical and operational experience and expertise for the benefit of our program. And with more than 400 volunteers who have joined us for coaching and mentoring our Entrepreneurs in Training (EITs), we’re just getting started!

In-person interactions with our volunteers provides our EITs with hope and increased self confidence, supporting them to “transform their hustle” and successfully re-enter the community upon release. But we often hear that our volunteers receive a lot more than they give. Defy Colorado volunteers experience tremendous growth as they develop empathy for an overlooked and stigmatized population. Perhaps best of all, they often become advocates who help shift societal perceptions to build stronger communities and open doors to future opportunities. You can read their testimonials here!
