The Emerging Latina Program seeks to enable and empower new small business owners – especially minority women in the Inland Empire – with the skills, knowledge, and support necessary to build and maintain a thriving business. The program is offered in both English and Spanish. It consists of 8 weeks, 2-hour sessions per week, which includes some time for networking. Attendees will receive handouts, pre-work, and other valuable tools to practice what they learn during each session.

In addition, attendees will be invited to be part of a Facebook group, with other previous program participants, where they can connect, inform and inspire each other on their entrepreneurial journey!
