About this Event
This day-and-a-half event takes place across two days:
Wed. Dec. 2nd from 4:00 - 8:00 pm EST &
Thurs. Dec. 3rd from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm EST
Both Days will be at Charlotte Works
We invite you to join us for the next Bank on 100 Million Hackathon in Charlotte, NC.
A record should not determine the limits of a person's future. We invite you to join us for this action orientated day-and-a-half-event where we share best practices and intentionally work to make that reality true.
As we head to North Carolina, Mission: Launch is proud to partner with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office and Charlotte Works to hold space for justice-impacted leaders, government and policy professionals, as well as community organizations and employers, to create pathways to work for workers with records in North Carolina and beyond.
