Opportunities From: Volunteer Center of Racine County, Inc.

For over a decade the Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC) has taken an active role in coaching WWBIC's small business owners, particularly those owned by women, people of color, and low income individuals. WWBIC uses coaching to meet the needs of our emerging businesses by providing expertise of its coaches and access to business networks. The coach is asked to work one on one with the client and provide expertise in their area of choosing. The time commitment in this position varies on the client's need. All volunteers must be 18 or older and business savvy.

Expert Business Presenters volunteer their time to teach a class of entrepreneurs and or small business owners on an area of expertise. Topics include but are not limited to; marketing, cash flow, financial awareness, internet marketing etc. Curriculum is provided for all classes. Most classes take place in the evening and run for three hours. All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and business savvy.

Guest Speakers volunteer their time to speak to a class of entrepreneurs and start up business owners on their area of expertise, or the business topic of their choosing and are needed to provide real world expertise to the entrepreneurs. Guest Speakers are looked upon as a resource for our entrepreneurs. All presentations occur within an already established class, taught by a trained and certified facilitator and supplement a formal curriculum. Presentations typically last up to 30 minutes followed with time for questions and answers. Guest Speakers are called upon two to four times a year. Guest Speakers are not to promote or directly sell their service(s) or product(s) to WWBIC clients during the session. If a client would like to receive information from you they would be free to do so on their own time outside of WWBIC classes. All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and business savvy.
