2022 Building Minority Entrepreneurship Series

Sessions will be held on April 26, 2022, May 23, 2022, June 28, 2022, August 30, 2022, and October 25, 2022 at East End Neighborhood House, located at 2749 Woodhill Rd. Cleveland, OH 44104.

An inherent risk of exposure to Covid-19 exists in any place where people gather. All attendees of the 2022 Building Minority Entrepreneurship Series are asked to wear face coverings over the mouth and nose except while actively eating and drinking.

Disposable masks will be provided for any attendees who need one. In addition, upon entering East End Neighborhood House, attendees will be asked to sign in, and have their temperature taken.

Attendees will be provided a warm, safely packaged meal and high quality childcare from skilled professionals at East End Neighborhood House. If you are in need of childcare while attending the session, please message the event host at least a week in advance.

The US economy is deeply divided, and projections show that median household wealth for Black and Latinx families is expected to drop nearly to zero — creating barriers that may ultimately prevent them from fully participating in both the economy and democracy.

To combat this potentially devastating and unjust trajectory, the Cleveland Branch of the NAACP, HFLA, and East End Neighborhood House have formed a partnership with support from Huntington Bank and their ‘Lift Local Business,’ program to deliver the 2022 Building Minority Entrepreneurship Series. The five-part series, which runs from April through October 2022, will provide practical and informative resources to minority owned businesses that are seeking to scale up in their business growth or to community members who are looking for trusted strategies to jump start an idea.

Participants who attend all five sessions of the 2022 Building Minority Entrepreneurship Series will be provided with a membership to a community small business center, and a free laptop, upon completion of a survey or questionnaire. These incentives will be distributed on a first-come, first served basis.

Register today and join us as we work to build an inclusive economy where all people, especially women, veterans, and racially diverse business owners, can benefit from economic growth and prosperity!
