Our Core Objectives

  • Partner with educational institutions, private foundations, individual donors, and industry leaders to support students by offering opportunities for skills enhancement, post secondary education preparation and development of career pathways.

  • Foster a culture of innovation through incubation programs, ongoing mentorship for startups and succession planning for existing business owners. Partnering with our other impactful community organizations, drive local business growth through low-interest loans and development programs. 

  • Support the development of critical programs with an initial focus on Ticonderoga’s Early Learning Center to expand access to childcare for our residents and employees of local businesses.
