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.
We put people first.
As a result, change happens.

En2Action has been an incredible resource in helping me expand and elevate my business, Wright's Delights. The program provided not only financial support but also mentorship, guidance, and the tools needed to succeed as an entrepreneur. ... I sincerely hope that En2Action continues to be offered to future entrepreneurs, because it has been a transformative experience that has elevated my business in every way.

Cooking at the Pavilion was my first time ever in a commercial kitchen, and it was so exciting. It gave me the chance to add new dishes to my menu and share more of my food with the community. I’ve been selling on the corner for over 15 years, but this was different — it brought so many neighbors out to the park who don’t usually come. Seeing their support and pride made this a really special moment for me and I can't wait to come back. Honestly, this never would have happened without En2Action. Their one-on-one support was friendly, welcoming, and always had my back. That kind of help made all the difference.

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.
