Entrepreneurs Wanted for 2nd Year of Launch Temple

The Rotary Club of Temple-South

The Rotary Club of Temple-South is partnering once again with the Rotary Club of Temple, Temple College, the Temple Chamber of Commerce, and Kiva.org on a second semester of Launch Temple.

This program was developed to provide small business training, mentorship, networking, and funding to local small business owners or aspiring entrepre- neurs. At the end of the 10-week program, graduates will have a complete business plan and a mentor to help them through their first six months.

“We are so excited to offer this program again,” said Patrick Guillen, president of the Rotary Club of Temple-South. “Launch Temple was very successful last year, and thanks to all of the resources provided by Temple College, graduates walked away with not only an excellent education as it pertains to how to do business, but college credit and connections that will benefit them long into the future.”

“The Rotary Club of Temple is very excited to be a partner in this program, as well,” said Rod Henry, president of the Rotary Club of Temple. “Rotary International has always made economic development a priority. This program truly stands to support that goal and will provide a positive impact on the local economy.”

The program is completely FREE for the participants. Online applications will be accepted from now through March 15, 2023. Learn more and apply at launchtemple.com.

Selected applicants will be notified of their status towards the end of March. Classes will be held Tuesday nights at 6:00pm beginning on April 11, with graduation scheduled for June 13. All classes will be held on the Temple College campus.
