CLASSES AND EVENTS

Most goal setting is all numbers and pressure. This plan starts with you: what you want your days to look like, what's draining your energy, and why these goals matter to your life. Then we build the numbers around that.

You have ideas. Maybe more than one. Or maybe you just know you want to work for yourself and haven't landed on the idea yet. Either way, you're not sure which direction to take, or whether starting a business is the right move right now.

Disruptions happen. Your business doesn’t have to be caught off guard. 

In this free, interactive workshop, you’ll walk through the six steps of the Outsmart Disaster Resiliency Roadmap and start building a preparedness plan that protects your operations, revenue, employees, and customers. 

Prepare before. Recover after. And never be left scrambling during a crisis. 

You don’t have to guess your next step — you just need a clear blueprint. 

In this two-week program, you’ll validate your idea, build your plan, and decide whether your next move is launching sales or preparing for funding. 

Walk away with clarity, confidence, and a clear next step that moves your business from idea to reality, on your own terms. 

You’ve seen the ads. “Free money for your business!” “Thousands of grants available!” Maybe you’ve wondered if a grant is the missing piece that would finally get your business or project off the ground. 

In this session, our capital access specialist walks you through what funding actually exists, what grants have looked like in our region, and how to tell a real opportunity from a paid service selling the dream. 

You’ll leave with a clear, realistic picture of your options and what to have ready, whichever path you take. 

The Women's Business Center at JEDI is opening interest for the very first cohort of our new Child Care Business program. Over six weeks, we'll walk you step by step through what it actually takes to start and run a childcare business, whether that's out of your home or somewhere else. No prior business experience needed. Just bring your care for kids and your willingness to learn.
