Classes & Events

Athens Land Trust is excited to host this course designed to help budding entrepreneurs develop their businesses and for existing business owners to grow their businesses. Thanks to funding through the ACC Community Development Block Grant, there is no cost to participate. Our goal is to have registrants attend every course date to take full advantage of this amazing FREE offering, as well as to develop a written business plan for their business. Workshops will be part lecture and part in-class work to give attendees time to develop strong business plans and strategies. Meetings will also feature local guest speakers.

To complete the class, participants will attend all scheduled sessions and complete a business plan. We will also offer 2 hours of 1-on-1 coaching to all participants.

This course is 100% free, however, we do require household income information per participant as required by our grant funder. These classes are held via Zoom with special accommodations for those who need technical assistance.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Course Coordinator, San-Tiffany Howard, at san-tiffany@athenslandtrust.org or call 706-613-0122
