Empowering Dreams Through Coaching, Connection, and Community
At the Minority Business Development Center (MBDC), we believe that financial health, careersuccess, and entrepreneurial opportunity go hand in hand. Our mission is to walk alongside community members—not prescribing solutions, but partnering with them to set meaningful goals in employment, savings, credit, and business development.
Holistic Coaching for Lasting Success
Through our Career, Financial, and Business Coaching services, we help individuals explore strategies and build momentum toward long-term success. Whether you’re seeking a new job, improving your financial wellness, or launching a business, our team is here to support your journey.
Integrated Services That Make a Difference
Powered by the Financial Opportunity Center® (FOC) model, our integrated approach combines:
- Employment Services
- Financial Coaching
- Income Supports Access
Research shows that individuals who engage with all three services are twice as likely to secure employment and enjoy a 20% higher job retention rate. For entrepreneurs, these services lay the foundation for sustainable growth and financial resilience.
Digital Skills for a Modern Economy
With 92% of jobs requiring digital proficiency, we recognize that digital literacy is essential for
both workforce readiness and business success. Our training helps community members master
tools for:
- Online banking and job applications
- E-commerce and digital marketing
- Business operations and communication
As a trusted, culturally competent organization, MBDC is part of a national network of FOC sites supported by LISC. Through grant funding, shared data systems, technical assistance, and peer learning, we build pathways to family-sustaining careers, business ownership, and financial empowerment.
We’re not just a center—we’re a partner in your journey toward success.
