The Workshop In Business Opportunities (WIBO), a program of LifeBridge Community Services, enables 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.
WIBO is actively recruiting WIBO Alumni and other local business professionals to volunteer their valuable time and experience as Workgroup Leaders. The Workgroup Leader conducts small group discussions based on the WIBO curriculum for approximately one hour each week for 16 weeks. Workgroup Leaders play an integral and important part in the success of each entrepreneur/participant through the weekly meetings and individual assistance in developing their business plan.

Description
LifeBridge understands that people impacted by poverty are challenged by a range of complex social, economic, and health issues, and that their plight affects the quality of life and stability of our communities.
