Note: Our small business programs are specifically geared toward adults who are starting or running a small business. In addition, our building is specifically set up as an adult learning and business center. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate children in our groups, classes, workshops, and other events.

If you are interested in learning more about what the Center will offer, a great first step is a visit. To accommodate that we are pleased to offer Staff-guided scheduled tours.

The Staff-guided Tour will walk you through in small groups, escorted by a Center staff member. 

This one-hour tour offers direct insight into the benefits, purpose and mission of the Center as well as an opportunity for questions and answers.
