Be.Build.Brand. + “I AM” Series

Be.Build.Brand. (B3) is a 10-week entrepreneurship program for Toronto Community Housing tenants between the ages of 18 and 29. Building on our success of B3 in 2020 and feedback from the community to support women in entrepreneurship, the "I AM" series was created in 2021. The four-week workshop helped to coach female residents aged 30 to 45 to start their own businesses.

Here are some highlights from the year.

  • 34+ communities
  • 234 participants
  • 28 weeks of programming
  • 40 facilitators (i.e., volunteers, mentors)
  • 52 virtual sessions
