New Program for Girls Starts in February!

Tincan has recieved a grant from the Inland Northwest Community Foundation for a program that will teach girls business and web design skills. The students will then be partnered with local women business owners who will provide mentoring and real world work experience. The project, Growing Women Entrepreneurs and Growing Neighborhood Economies, merges Tincan's popular e-commerce training program and the resources of the Women's Business Center.

The program will be run in two Spokane neighborhoods after school starting in February. Girls 13-18 or local business owners interested in participating should contact Tara Neumann at tara@tincan.org or call 744-0972.

If you are interested in volunteering with this program email Hannah Whitmore at hannah@tincan.org.
