ATLANTA — On Tuesday, representatives from the Atlanta Hawks and Chase engaged with 10 aspiring entrepreneurs who have been impacted by the criminal justice system through the new “Second Chance” community program.

The program left attendees feeling empowered from a day full of educational workshops to enhance their financial health and understanding of business finances as they work to start their own businesses. The aspiring entrepreneurs’ business ideas range from food trucks to social impact and media consulting firms to a re-entry connection business for others who have been previously incarcerated.
