Entrepreneur Lauren Jones Forbes recognized a need for supporting Black women who felt overworked, stressed, and trapped in their daily routines. With a business concept in mind and a strong professional background, Lauren just needed to strengthen her business skills.

That’s where the BPL came in. With the help of the Entrepreneur in Residence program, Lauren launched her new business – Look into Your Life: Transformative Life Coaching for Black Women.

Thank you to our generous donors who support the Entrepreneur in Residence Program. To read more about Lauren’s journey and how private resources enhance the Library’s programs, go to bplfund.org/impact.

In the past year, 4,739 patrons visited the Boston Public Library to access employment services and training, leading to better jobs and improved careers. As demand rises, generous grants through the Boston Public Library Fund enabled the Library to hire two new career counselors.

Michael Colford, Director of Library Services, said, “Companies are demanding new and different skills, and thanks to generous grants, the BPL is answering the call to reach a greater number of job seekers and create a more equitable city.”

Thank you to @hearst, @highlandstreetfoundation, and State Street for bringing the BPL’s workforce efforts to scale.
