Community, in action.

This is what fuels everything we do. We provide the spaces, training, and networks that empower residents not only to participate in, but also to lead, the decisions that shape their future.

MORE ABOUT OUR IMPACT

Entrepreneurs Are Flourishing

  • Once we got access to that kitchen, that opened the door to be able to push Gumbo Social forward, over $35,000 in sales came directly from referrals or opportunities came directly from En2Action. For some people, that’s not a lot, but for us, it’s a game changer. That’s two months of payroll; that gives us an opportunity to build for the future.
