      Empowering Rural Entrepreneurship

      In small towns and rural areas, starting or growing a business often comes with unique challenges—limited resources, lack of networks, and financial barriers. The Wayfinder Program is here to change that.

      Wayfinder is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to support entrepreneurs in rural communities by providing the skills, resources, and mentorship they need to succeed. Whether you’re launching a new venture or scaling an existing business, Wayfinder gives you the tools to build something lasting.
