A Celebration of the Greater Good Academy
|
Please join us on April 19th for a celebration honoring the Greater Good Academy’s third graduating class of entrepreneurs. The class of 15 students has developed their ‘triple bottom line’ business plans, with community, sustainability and profit at their core. The event will showcase these emerging small business ventures and include panel discussions on the importance of business ethics and benefits of socially responsible practices. 
The goal of the Greater Good Academy (GGA) is to provide civic-minded entrepreneurs from under-served communities in Denver with the resources they need to succeed and ‘scale’ their ventures. GGA accomplishes this by providing the students with mentors and connecting them with business partners in the community. The GGA helps to strengthen local communities, incubate green businesses and increase economic self-sufficiency.
