Mission of WIBO - BEAD Program

To provide training and mentoring for entrepreneurs dedicated to starting and growing local businesses that change lives, create jobs, and improve communities.
To enable small business owners and budding entrepreneurs from underserved communities to obtain financial success by starting, operating, and building successful businesses that develop economic power, provide jobs and improve communities.

What We Do
Led By Us & Workshop In Business Opportunities (WIBO) has been dedicated to teaching people with a passion and strong entrepreneurial spirit how to start, operate, and grow profitable businesses. Our objective is to help more people become successful entrepreneurs; the goal is to create greater economic opportunity, improve local communities, and change lives.
We help community‐based entrepreneurs and small business owners increase their access to knowledge, networks, and capital, and we work with them to navigate their way to entrepreneurial success. Their success can provide economic stimulus at a local level and lays the foundation for empowered, thriving communities.
