We seek to support our neighbors’ God-given passion, creativity, and drive, with the right tools to succeed in turning their business dream into a money-making reality.
For families in low-income locales, small business creation is a vital, yet missing, piece of the economic picture. Currently the living wage in Nashville is $22.65 for a single parent with one child. The Academy is designed to help neighbors create a sustainable economic engine for their family and community.
In an effort to remove many of the typical barriers to entrepreneurial training, The Academy is offered in a variety of locations, all within walking distance of government housing projects.
