The Economic Development Program @ The Center is the LGBT Community's source for FREE assistance with:

•  Job searches/career growth

•  Small business development

•  Financial planning and security

•  And more!

At The Center's Economic Development Department, we believe a secure financial foundation is possible for everyone in our community. We have designed three unique programs to help you flourish:

Workforce Development
Workforce Development helps to increase the number of satisfactorily employed LGBT people.

Business Development
Business Development helps LGBT entrepreneurs create and grow small businesses.

Financial Growth and Development
Financial Growth and Development helps stimulate self-sufficiency through guidance in financial savings and long-term investments in both housing and businesses.

The Transgender Economic Empowerment Initiative (TEEI)
TEEI helps transgender individuals achieve financial self sufficiency through stable employment in jobs providing a living wage and benefits, with opportunities for advancement.

"Throughout the day I had so many people approach me to thank us for doing the event. They were grateful to have a concentration of gay-friendly and welcoming employers in one place that they felt safe coming to".
