Elevate Northland is proud to announce its most recent class of BEGIN graduates who took part in our program of Saturday classes to learn how to start a new business in the United States. Our students had wide-ranging pursuits, from packaged food to dining, from caregiving to marketing. They learned about legal and financial guidelines and options, business planning and marketing, branding and advertising.

The BEGIN program is offered in partnership with our friends at ETSS, and sponsored by Chase Bank.

Our November program is already full, and we are currently seeking sponsors, volunteer teachers and support to continue the class in 2026, after our current grant is completed.
