The Change Make-Her Program is accepting applications for Cohort 4!
May 6, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
An event every week that begins at 10:00 am on Saturday, repeating until June 24, 2023
GOOD TO BE GOOD is pleased to announce a fourth cohort for the Change Make-Her program! This FREE interactive virtual program is for women and gender-diverse folks* interested in developing their entrepreneurship and leadership skills through mentorship-based training workshops, community building, peer support, resource-sharing, and other opportunities.
The program is a unique development opportunity explicitly created to extend the capacity of new and early entrepreneurs through a low-barrier, inclusive, and compassionate approach. The entrepreneurship space is challenging to navigate—layering being a woman or gender-diverse with intersecting identities adds another path to navigate. We believe that entrepreneurism can be a meaningful pathway for women and gender-diverse people facing multiple barriers to independence and well-being to build confidence and community, and self-determine aspects of economic circumstances.
Each group session empowers participants with the fundamentals of growing a micro or small business in the mainstream economy on their terms while connecting them with other entrepreneurs and industry professionals in the community and accessible tools. We support participants by offering them several resources, wraparound supports (technology, internet, stress devices), and peer support. Successful participants will receive up to $300 micro-grant for their business needs. The seven-week program focuses on subjects related to entrepreneurship and leadership, such as essential business finance, business planning, community building, and marketing. All workshops are led by trained facilitators and Marsha Roc in a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive environment. Our guest mentors and speakers include Maggie Aurocco from bluboho, Nadege from IG Wealth Management, and Opal Rowe from Stush Patties.
Participants must be available Saturday mornings (Eastern time) between May 6, 2023- June 24, 2023. Participants welcomed to join the cohort are asked to fill out a pre-survey before the program begins to gauge motivations, needs, and goals. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet for an orientation call prior to the first workshop.
