Strength in Community Workshops (SCW) Program

Each session of the Strength in Community Workshops (SCW) Program is an interactive 5-week program where you will meet with other women entrepreneurs in a facilitated workshop setting and participate in supportive dialogue and community building.

There are three workshops in the program, all designed to inspire, empower, equip, and level you up for business growth and success.

The workshops are NOT a graduated program, meaning you can participate in any of the three sessions at any time.

Strength in Community is now a National Program

On International Women's Day 2023, WeMB received $1.48 millon in funding under round two of the WES Ecosystem Fund. That funding gave us the opportunity to expand our successful Strength in Community Workshop Program to serve more women.

The funding provided allows WeMB to focus on supporting women entrepreneurs in their areas of strength while expanding supports to rural and remote regions and the north.

This funding has expanded the SCW Program across seven provinces in partnership with other key agencies in the Women Entrepreneurship Ecosystem.
