Startup Workshop With Global Impact Initiative

On Saturday, October 26, 2024, join ACC-Austin and help refugees from all over the world integrate into our community and become financially self-sufficient and independent by learning how to start a business in the United States.

Many refugees arrive to our country having run a business in their homelands and they are keen to do the same in their newly adopted country, but do not know how and where to begin. By empowering them to start their businesses, you will be helping them further business growth and development in the Austin area. Volunteers will be teaching a startup workshop to refugees from all over the world. All teaching materials will be provided to volunteers before the workshop. Lunch will be provided to all participants (volunteers and refugees) as well.

Our partner in this project, Global Impact Initiative (GII), is a local nonprofit that empowers refugees through education, mentoring and job skills training that builds generational stability and well-being. For more information about GII, please go to www.globalimpactinitiative.com
