Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey, but it doesn’t have to be. The Greater Arvada Chamber is launching a groundbreaking program called the Arvada Ascent Mentor Cohort that is designed to transform how local business owners grow, learn, and succeed together.

- Connect with experienced business mentors
- Build a supportive peer network
- Develop critical leadership and business skills
- Gain fresh perspectives on business challenges
This is a six-month intensive program with monthly sessions, exclusive networking events, Cloverleaf emotional intelligence training, and a peer support network. Sessions begin on May 7, 2025. The cost for mentees is $100 for Chamber members and $125 for non-members.
