Working With Us

The Power of the Commons

We help entrepreneurs build real businesses that support their lives and strengthen their communities.

At Sierra Commons, we create a welcoming and supportive environment where community-minded entrepreneurs can start, grow, and thrive. Guided by our mission, we empower rural entrepreneurs with heart-forward education, mentorship, and community resources that support lasting success.

We partner with government agencies, nonprofits, and funders who share our passion. Together, we:

  • Co-host programs and workshops on a contract basis

  • Carry out grant-funded projects that strengthen local economies

  • Create custom courses and resources designed for your audience

  • Share content on our Learning Hub to expand reach and impact

  • Provide consulting to help rural communities grow businesses and jobs

By working with Sierra Commons, you gain a partner who understands the realities of rural life and the potential of small businesses. Together, we can spark growth, create jobs, and build stronger communities..

Our Approach

Heart-forward. Hands-on. Rooted in local resilience.

We don’t just teach business. We walk alongside people who are building something from the ground up — guiding them with practical tools, honest advice, and a commitment to community.

Our programs are designed to help entrepreneurs build businesses that last, hire locally, and reflect the values of the people who create them.
