Description
We believe that many people who live in underserved and under-resourced communities have the passion, creativity, and hustle needed to become successful small business owners. The Academy is designed to walk them through the business creation process so they can plan, launch and grow their small business. These small businesses will then offer additional income to graduates (creating part-time/weekend jobs for themselves) and those they hire as their business grows. Over time this cycle of business creation, growth, and hiring will lead to economic development in neighborhoods often overlooked by traditional entrepreneurial startup/impact centers.

Description
The Corner to Corner Coalition exists as an alliance of people who believe that we are made in the image of God; through his spirit, we are actively working to create a more just and equitable Nashville. We also believe that we are all scar-givers and scar-receivers; we bring that brokenness into the relationships and systems we create and sustain. The Coalition was created to promote awareness and build capacity for social change regarding the harmful impact of systematic racism on our neighbors and friends of color in Nashville and beyond. As a call to action, The Coalition will host meaningful dialogues and community-engaged learning experiences. For updates on these opportunities, visit our Facebook page or cornertocorner.org/events.
