The NNEBA Fellows program provides young men and women (16-26) with career training and internship opportunities to improve and expand skills that come from operating successful businesses and organizations.
WHO WE SERVE
The Soul District Business Association is a non-profit, formally known as NNEBA that puts on the annual MLKDR. The MLK Dream Run funds our Soul District Fellows Internship, which features program partnerships such as Green Lighting Black Lives Matter Youth Media Project and Summer Works. The ultimate goal is to prepare students, entering the workforce and mentor them toward pathways to success.
Secondly, the Saturday before the Sunday Run will also feature live music, products, and services from local businesses big and small in our vendor village. We hope this event brings people together to celebrate the N/NE community noted for its rich ethnic diversity.
