After a 10-year hiatus, the Chicago Urban League is relaunching the nextOne program to help Black small business owners grow their enterprises and increase their impact in Chicago communities.

The cohort-based program will offer accelerated MBA-level business training, business support services, and exposure to potential lenders to address access to capital. Participants will benefit from peer-to-peer networking and will have opportunities to forge possible solutions to some of the challenges facing Black communities. The nextONE program will be a premier offering of the League’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.

“We’ve heard from a number of business owners about how instrumental the nextONE program was in helping them achieve their business goals and get to the next level,” said Chicago Urban League President and CEO Karen Freeman-Wilson. “So we decided to bring it back now, while many businesses still need significant support and resources to thrive amid the pandemic.”
