OUR IMPACT
PROGRAM BENEFITS
WITH A BACKGROUND IN BIOLOGY & ECOLOGY, I HAD ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO START A BUSINESS. THE SESSIONS HELPED ME WALK AWAY WITH A POLISHED BUSINESS PLAN READY FOR ACTION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PROJECT ZERO FOR ANYONE THAT HAS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUSINESS WORLD, OR JUST NEEDS THAT EXTRA PUSH TO GET STARTED."
