The Full Story

About

The Mercaditos effort is much more than a little market. This project is a year-round intensive entrepreneurship program that bridges the gap between Spanish-speaking community residents, the Communities Together team, community members, and partners in our community.

​

At the beginning of the Mercaditos cycle, the most recent of which began in early 2022, candidates from a collection of CTI communities apply to participate in the program. A small group of qualified community members are selected. Over several months, the selected Mercaditos participants complete a comprehensive training in finance and small business management, preparing them to run their own mercaditos throughout the summer and fall. Each participant brings their own product to the group - artistic talent, culinary knowhow, and upcycling thrifty skill are just the beginning.

​

The component of learning entrepreneurship would not be possible without the constant dedication and communication of our partners or CTI team members. If you have any questions about the Mercaditos project, please see the buttons to the right, or contact Bryana Solano (whose information is on the Contact page of this site).
