ITHACA, N.Y. — The Women’s Opportunity Center (WOC) is starting a new startup business mentorship program for women wishing to advance their home business, start a new small business, or develop additional business skills by working one-on-one with an experienced professional.
The WOC is currently recruiting women business owners, women business leaders, and experienced professional women interested in serving as a mentor. The organization will then match each business mentor with a protege. The time commitment for the program is one year.
In support of these efforts, the WOC is holding a membership mingle on Wednesday, April 26 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the center’s offices at 315 N. Tioga St. in Ithaca. The first half of the meeting is a meet and greet, while the second half will feature a presentation on the program.
