Founded in 1966 in Harlem, the Workshop in Business Opportunities (WIBO) is a private non-profit organization that is committed to assisting men and women with the drive to become successful entrepreneurs. Our mission is to enable small business owners and budding entrepreneurs from under-served communities to obtain financial success by starting, operating, and building successful businesses that develop economic power, provide jobs, and improve communities.

Our flagship program is the WIBO 16-Week Workshop, “How to Build a Growing Profitable Business.” Upon completion of the Workshop, WIBO Alumni have access to additional resources, including business coaching, mentoring, webinars, networking, and other business support services. Since 1966, we have trained nearly 18,000 entrepreneurs who have created over 34,000 jobs.

We thank all the generous foundations, corporations, and individual donors that support the WIBO mission and the amazing volunteers who make this great opportunity possible.
Together, we are changing lives and making a difference.
