PA Wilds PACE is a 10-week program, for Wilds Cooperative members, with meetings taking place online twice a week. However, there will be opportunities to meet in person as well. With lessons made available online through TalentLMS, a Learning Management System, participants will have access to a variety of course materials and discussion opportunities. Participants will be required to read course materials, complete worksheets pertaining to their businesses, and engage in discussions with other entrepreneurs.

Members of the Wilds Cooperative are eligible to apply to PA Wilds PACE. The Cohort is designed specifically for entrepreneurs looking to scale their businesses and leverage the Pennsylvania Wilds brand and marketing opportunities.

The Cohort will kick-off on February 17, 2020, and the kick-off is an in-person session (location TBA).
Sessions will run for 10 weeks, meeting virtually on Mondays and Thursdays from 7-8 pm. The Cohort will commence with a graduation ceremony on April 27, 2020 (location and time TBA).

No. The sessions will be held virtually, so you will need access to a computer with a webcam and an internet connection. The kick-off and graduation sessions will be held in person at a location TBD.

Each member will need to utilize a computer with a webcam and internet to access course materials. Based on the location of cohort members we will work with partner organizations to provide access to webcam equipment. We want to make this program accessible to our members, during the interview process we will discuss internet access and work with you to determine a path to accessibility if accepted to the cohort.

The Cohort costs $2,500 per participant. BUT thanks to a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Wilds Cooperative of Pennsylvania members are eligible to participate in the 2020 PA Wilds PACE Cohort for FREE!
