Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative business owners represent a wide range of industries, business organization types, size, location, and stage of commerce.
There are families, solopreneurs, nonprofits, LLCs, and partnerships. The circumstances of the NPI businesses and business owners are varied, yet they share one commonality: each one is incredibly inspiring. Students typically describe the relationships formed with their business owner clients as the true highlight of NPI.
