Join our upcoming events
Discover hands-on workshops, essential training, and networking opportunities designed to empower entrepreneurs and communities. Each event is crafted to provide you with valuable skills, connections, and the support you need to thrive.
Workshops and training for success
Our events are more than just gatherings; they are opportunities for tangible growth. We list hands-on sessions like business plan workshops, bookkeeping basics classes, and technical assistance days for farmers. We also host rural entrepreneur networking meetups and community project planning sessions. We want you to sign up for workshops that address your immediate needs, get involved in community projects, and walk away having learned something new and feeling inspired to achieve economic independence.
Clear information for every event
We provide all the important details at a glance so you can make informed decisions. For each event, you'll know who it's for (e.g., farmers, entrepreneurs, DAC residents, beginners), where it is (specific location or virtual link), and whether there's any cost (most events are free or low-cost, with full transparency on fees). We also clearly state what you'll walk away with, such as a completed business plan draft or actionable farming tips, and provide simple steps on how to register or join. We'll also note if childcare, translation, or transportation assistance is available to remove any obstacles to your participation.
Empowering underserved communities
These events directly address and remove the barriers that have historically held back underserved communities, including lack of access, knowledge, confidence, and connections. A farmer leaving our technical assistance day will have a customized plan to increase yields and a local market contact. An entrepreneur at our bookkeeping workshop will gain the ability to apply for a loan. A rural resident at a networking meetup will find potential partners, mentors, and friends. We aim to highlight the shift from isolation to collaboration, uncertainty to capability, and from surviving to thriving. These events turn questions into action and small ideas into real businesses, proving that change happens when we show up together.
