About Community Economic Development

Volunteers help artisan groups, agricultural associations, and other small businesses improve their incomes through better marketing, accounting, and management practices. Volunteers also teach youth entrepreneurship classes and facilitate the development of community banks to expand credit in rural areas.

Goal 1: Business Consulting

Goal 3: Financial Education and Community Banks
