We are looking for a couple of bright individuals who are interested in helping clients in our Training Program. The Start Smart, Start Green Entrepreneurship Training Program is a 6-week, 36-hour program that runs 4 times a year. The program helps people who have a business idea or an informal business that they are looking to turn into a formal business. Classes go over business operations, business planning, cash-flow and financials, legal requirements and licensing, as well as marketing. In order for the class to be successful, WORC relies on volunteers who can help our clients formulate their business plans and put pen to paper- that's where you come in!
Volunteer responsibilities will include:
- Helping clients use new business planning software
- Helping clients vocalize and write down their business ideas
- Supporting clients in using new technology and software including Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and LivePlan.
- Helping clients complete business-specific homework assignments
- Administrative items: collecting sign-in sheets and applications, making copies of classwork, etc.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Women's Opportunities Resource Center (WORC) is to promote social and economic self-sufficiency primarily for economically disadvantaged women and their families. WORC provides training, individual business assistance, incentive savings program, job placement, and access to business and financial resources. WORC empowers its constituents through various self-help strategies including savings, a self-employment network, and access to its local and national affiliations. Additionally, WORC encourages community awareness and responsiveness concerning issues impacting economic equity and independence.
Description
The Economic Opportunities Fund (EOF) was created in 1999 in response to the increasingly unmet demand for start-up capital experienced by graduates of entrepreneurship training programs provided by our parent, Women’s Opportunities Resource Center (WORC). EOF is a designated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) through the U.S. Department of Treasury.
Our mission is to provide access to capital for low-income and underserved populations in the Philadelphia metropolitan area with a specific emphasis on serving women and minorities who lack access to capital and credit. Our philosophy is to provide our "micro-entrepreneurs" with step-loans as small as $500 up to $35,000. This allows borrowers to finance individual parts of their business. As a borrower demonstrates she is able to handle a loan, she can apply for additional loans and/or lines of credit. This permits our borrowers to assume debt levels appropriate to their business size and capacity and minimize the risks for the fund or guarantor.
