How do I participate in one
of WEDA's programs?
To be considered for most of WEDA's programs, you must first attend a
mandatory orientation where you'll learn more about the program,
including how it is structured and what to expect. Orientations for
entrepreneurial programs are held quarterly, and loan program
orientations are held monthly. You must reserve a seat by completing and
returning a reservation form that can be requested from our office. Due
to the volume of interest in our programs, we ask that you not attend an
orientation without first reserving a seat.
Please note that many of WEDA's programs are income-based. Depending on
quarterly capacity, preference may be given to those individuals
demonstrating the greatest financial need.
When are Atlanta Microenterprise Initiative classes held?
Once you have been accepted into the program, you will be assigned to
attend class either two weeknights each week (from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm) or
on Saturdays from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.
Do you provide business or personal financial counseling on a
walk-in basis?
At this time, we are unable to accept walk-ins for counseling.
Additionally, counseling is currently limited to clients of the WEDA /
Metropolitan Atlanta Women's Business Center or WEDA-On-Demand and is
available only by appointment.
How often do you offer training programs?
The Atlanta Microenterprise Initiative accepts new clients on a
quarterly basis and Impuestos Ahora! is offered monthly. WEDA's other
training programs are offered periodically based upon demand. Please
check our calendar of upcoming events for more details.
Do you charge for your programs and services?
The Atlanta Microenterprise Initiative is an income-based program that
uses a sliding scale to determine a client's ability to pay. Those at
the top of the scale (the lowest income levels) pay a nominal fee, while
those at the bottom of the scale (the highest income levels) pay a fee
that is based upon income. All other programs and services are assessed
a fee that is determined by the scope of services provided, including
WEDA-On-Demand fees which are set by the individual consultant. For
details, please check the information on each individual program.
Impuestos Ahora! is free of charge.
I've tried to telephone WEDA, but it's really difficult to
get through. How do I contact you?
WEDA receives far more telephone calls each day than we're capable of
responding to. We encourage you to first surf our website as the answer
to your question may be found online. If not, the best way to receive a
speedy response is to contact us via email at inquiries@WEDA-atlanta.org |
