Side Hustle is a virtual program that offers webinars, coaching, and access to micro-grants to help NEO college students start or grow a side hustle. A side hustle is something you do outside of a traditional job or during your studies to earn money.  Side hustles are low risk to start, and not only help you earn extra income, but can also build valuable skills to strengthen your resume.  
Program goals:
  • provide a taste of entrepreneurship
  • introduce a framework to evaluate/grow business ideas
  • ​help discover new entrepreneurship resources in NEO on and beyond your campus
  • ​offer micro-grants to help with startup costs
Open to all Northeast Ohio college students
