Centro Community Partners

At Centro Community Partners, our philosophy is values-based, mission focused, and community-oriented. We are grounded on the principle that individuals can contribute greatly to the economic, social, and natural well-being of their community.

Entrepreneurship is an important driver of economic stability and growth for communities. While entrepreneurship development programs do exist in California and nationwide, most of these programs fail to address the specific and multifaceted needs of underserved entrepreneurs. After completing these programs, most entrepreneurs are still ineligible for financing due to bad credit, insufficient collateral, and inadequate cash flow. Their ability to succeed in business is limited by the lack of management experience, business skills, and leadership ability required to be an effective entrepreneur.

Centro Community Partners recognized the gap in the current microenterprise development model and has created a unique program to help entrepreneurs achieve financial stability.
