Entrepreneurship Program with Urban League of NWI

Event Information

On February 10, the Urban League of Northwest Indiana (ULNWI) will launch a new initiative in support of local entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. The Entrepreneurship Program, which is free to participants, was developed after a series of entrepreneurs reached out to the Urban League for advice, resources and guidance to start or grow their businesses. The first session will be held at the Urban League of NWI, 3101 Broadway in Gary from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The Entrepreneurship Program will take place for 12 weeks on Saturdays. The curriculum will include classroom instruction coupled with “lunch and learn” sessions led by experts in various fields. Shabazz stated that this set-up was created in an effort to mix up the dynamic of the discussions.

Currently, the program is being funded by a series of financial institutions and organizations who are donating funds and resources. Allen-McCloud indicated that the community is invited to make donations of any size to the program as well. 

Entrepreneurs interested in participating can register on Eventbrite - “Steps for Starting a Business.” For more information about the program and to donate, call 219-887-9621.
