LEWISTON — New Ventures Maine announces that it will be offering Work for Yourself@50+ workshops in Lewiston. 

The decision to start a business can be both exciting and daunting. AARP Foundation’s Work for Yourself@50+ breaks the choices down for older adults in an approachable way.

The workshop will help low- and moderate-income adults age 50+ gain the knowledge, support and resources they need to make informed decisions and take steps toward successful self-employment. The workshop will walk participants through the Work for Yourself@50+ materials and connect them with local resources to help them reach their goals.

The first workshop will be offered from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Dec. 15, in Room 283 at the University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn College, 51 Westminster St., Lewiston.
