WE'RE EMPOWERING WOMEN
with our WE 360° program

In the spring of 2020, we launched our inaugural WE 360° program for women entrepreneurs of color to help them take their businesses to the next level... or to start one. 

This free, multi-week program is specifically designed to help women of color overcome barriers in entrepreneurship. Our 2020 workshop series each sold out within a day, as did our two 2021 spring workshop series.

In the second half of 2021, we were excited to announce a new supplementary course. Our new WE 360° workshop series takes place in two parts: first, the women will take YWCA USA's online WE 360° Business Essentials course, a step-by-step, self-guided course which will also give them access to the support of professional coaches, mentors, and a community of entrepreneurs on a national scale.

​Once the women complete the Business Essentials course, they move on to take our advanced WE 360° course with personal local coaching from our WE 360° business growth coach, Keisha Smith.
