Minority Cannabis Academy

Minority Cannabis Academy works to train the next generation of entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry, particularly those whose livelihood has been negatively impacted by cannabis policy. Through their work, MCA provides sector-capacity building support and closes the gap between the current policy that prioritizes BIPOC entrepreneurs for licenses and the additional resources and education needed to open up a cannabis business. They provide workforce development training and connect entrepreneurs with resources to begin and sustain their businesses. MCA is working to invert and repair the role that cannabis has had on BIPOC communities.
