Meet your friendly NEW Women’s Business Center team.

Supporting Small Business in LA County

New Economics for Women has put together a team of experts to take care of the Women’s Business Center. The NEW-WBC will have its headquarters in Canoga Park, with another location in Van Nuys. In addition to all the workshops and one-on-one consultations, the program will expand in the months to come with an “On the Road Program” taking the much-needed program to different communities and organizations around Los Angeles County.

The NEW Women’s Business Center provides resources and tools to ensure women entrepreneurs are on the right track for economic independence through small business ownership.

We are here to help your business. Register for local training workshops that help you develop your business. Book a 1-on-1 appointment with our staff. Get the support you need to succeed.

Since its founding In 1985 as a Community Economic Development Organization, New Economics For Women (NEW) has maintained that economic stability and mobility are fundamental human rights. Over the last 39 years, NEW has delivered on this belief and its mission to spark economic mobility through wealth creation/asset-building programs and services, affordable housing, education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy for economic justice.

NEW helps transform economic mindsets, change gender dynamics and create a cradle of knowledge and wealth that can be passed onto future generations.

Entrepreneurship develops organically out of NEW’s innovative spirit, becoming key to propelling women beyond stability to wealth creation that also extends to their families.

The NEW Mission

To empower generations of under-resourced women and their families to thrive.
