WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

The “¡Échale Gas!” Small Business Workshops provide Southside small business owners and entrepreneurs with the opportunity to learn both the fundamentals and the latest trends for effective business development and management.

The workshops educate and connect participants with resources to support small business development, expansion, and retention.

Southside First conducts monthly, in-person and online, free small business workshops in strategic locations throughout San Antonio’s Southside, which includes City of San Antonio Council Districts 3, 4, and 5.

The programming is based on Southside First’s Community and Business Surveys conducted in the Quintana and Mission San Jose neighborhoods and in partnership with the St. Mary’s University Harvey Najim Center for Business Innovation and Social Responsibility.
