Persephone Modeste felt the course was worth the time and money she invested. "The microenterprise Assistance Program (MAP) helped me to realize that my desire to establish a business and help the women in our community could be more than a dream. The quality and the cost of the MAP program is unprecedented.  The education provided through MAP staff, community and business professionals led me to reassess my goals and outcomes. I now have the tools, knowledge and on-going support to develop, institute and maintain a community organization that will provide services to enhance homes and families, starting with women."
