Corporate Counsel Women of Color® (CCWC), a leader in the movement for diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, is pleased to announce a new initiative for minority women entrepreneurs.  The program aims to help minority women entrepreneurs maximize their full potential by pairing them with minority women lawyer-mentors.  

The legal volunteers will provide mentoring and business advice on issues relevant to small businesses, as well as offer expanded networking opportunities for the entrepreneurs.  Included in the program are educational workshops on:  copyright, trademarks, web design, social media, employees, financial statements and more.  Entrepreneurs will also be eligible to receive discounts on products and services through program partners including Legal Zoom.

In addition, program participants will be eligible to apply for grants from CCWC.  A review committee will select five entrepreneurs to receive grants of $5,000 each.  Grants will be awarded in August 2022.
