A Haiti rising in step with the world
Where every Haitian feels rooted, empowered, and at home — anywhere on earth. We support the growth and sustainability of Haitian-American businesses in Jacksonville through networking, mentorship, business development resources, advocacy, and initiatives that foster economic empowerment and community collaboration.
Three Programs for
Economic Empowerment
We prepare people to succeed through training, mentorship, and resources — building the environment where Haitian-American businesses can grow and thrive.
KONEKTE
The Haitian Business Access Initiative
"From invisible to institutional."
Connects Haitian-owned businesses to capital, contracts, and procurement opportunities through Kapital Track, Kontra Track, and Katalòg Track programs.
TEKNOLOJI
The AI Ready Business Program
"The tools of now, in your hands."
An 8-week cohort curriculum equipping Haitian small business owners with practical AI and technology skills for marketing, operations, and financial management.
SWEN
The Whole Business, Whole Person Program
"You cannot build what you have not healed."
Trauma-informed business development programming that acknowledges the full conditions in which Haitian entrepreneurs operate, with peer support and holistic resources.
Since 2026, JGHACC has been the leading voice for Haitian-American businesses in Northeast Florida. We believe economic empowerment prepares people to succeed, while economic development creates the conditions for success — and you need both.
