The RITES Project
The Re-entry from Incarceration through Entrepreneurship Services (RITES) Project was developed to create tools, training sessions, roundtables and collaboration opportunities to assist Returning Citizens in starting and developing business enterprises.
Breaking Barriers: Entrepreneurial Success from the Inside Out: Powered by GMEN, Edovo and the W.K.
The Georgia Micro Enterprise Network (GMEN) has partnered with online learning platform Edovo to make entrepreneurship and business education curriculum accessible to incarcerated individuals in Georgia and across the United States. This initiative is part of GMEN’s Reentry from Incarceration Through Entrepreneurship or RITES Project to make online learning courses available to incarcerated individuals interested in pursuing entrepreneurship as a reentry strategy. The RITES Project, funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, was developed to create tools, training sessions, roundtables and collaboration opportunities to assist Returning Citizens in starting and developing business enterprises.
