Today's Event to Launch New Program Empowering Domestic Abuse Survivors


Please join us today, July 16, as we announce the launch of the Business Entrepreneurship Program, a new initiative that provides domestic violence survivors in Greater Rochester with the skills and know-how to start small businesses and become successful entrepreneurs on their way to self-sufficiency.

The announcement is scheduled from 10:30 to 11 a.m. in the Bausch & Lomb Lobby at the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center and hosted by MCC's Economic Development and Innovative Workforce Services. President Kress will be among the speakers.

Funded by a $100,000 Verizon Foundation grant, the program grew out of a collaboration among MCC, Alternatives for Battered Women, and New York State Small Business Development Center at The College at Brockport.

Verizon’s $100,000 grant is one of five awarded to workforce development organizations statewide.
