Tribe Network is seeking 2SLGBTQIA+ applicants from the BIPOC community for its new Out East program.

Offered in collaboration with the Canadian Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, Out East is a first-of-its-kind entrepreneurship program for members of these two under-represented communities.

“You don’t need to code-switch,” said an announcement from Tribe, a Halifax-based support organization for BIPOC entrepreneurs. “You don’t need a pitch deck. You don’t even need business experience. All you need is the desire to build.”

The program offers Identity-affirming spaces, financial literacy training, practical workshops and tools, monthly office hours and access to a network of regional partners.

You can find out more information and an application form here. The deadline for applications is Sept. 4.
