The Community Growth Program + Toolkit (CGPT) inspires people to see themselves as entrepreneurs and equips them to create new ventures and solve problems.
It includes resources to help those starting out on their journey and encourages peer-to-peer sharing of best practices. Our goal is to inspire more people to see themselves as Builders, creating value for communities and increasing access to capital and resources.
