Abundant Life is New Life Centers’ program designed to help local entrepreneurs launch, grow, and scale sustainable businesses. Built on a proven global framework and customized for our communities in Little Village and Humboldt Park, the program provides step-by-step support throughout the entire entrepreneurial journey.
A Proven Path for Entrepreneurs
Abundant Life guides participants through five stages:
- Ignite – Spark inspiration and incubate new ideas.
- Ideate – Turn vision into a clear business plan.
- Create – Build impact and financial models.
- Grow – Strengthen sales, marketing, and operations.
- Scale – Secure early-stage capital and prepare for long-term growth.
Mentorship at the Core
What sets Abundant Life apart is its mentorship network. Each entrepreneur is paired with a seasoned leader—startup founders, business owners, venture capitalists, or Fortune 500 executives—who volunteer their time and expertise.
Mentors don’t just advise; they walk alongside entrepreneurs, providing practical guidance, connections, and encouragement at every stage. For many mentors, this work is deeply fulfilling, offering the chance to create lasting change in their own city.
Building Stronger Communities
Through this powerful combination of proven methodology and committed mentorship, Abundant Life equips entrepreneurs to build businesses that are not only profitable, but also impactful for the community.
