Our roots began in the heart of urban development.
SOUL Works L3C evolved from Sustainable Opportunities for Urban Living, Inc. (S.O.U.L.), an organization dedicated to empowering communities by focusing on sustainability, business growth, and creating opportunities for residents in underserved urban areas. Over time, it became clear that small businesses and contractors in these communities needed more than just resources; they needed tailored operational support to thrive. With this realization, SOUL Works L3C was born to help contractors build stronger, more sustainable businesses.
An extension of S.O.U.L.'s mission.
While S.O.U.L. continues to focus on urban sustainability and development, SOUL Works L3C was formed to address the unique challenges faced by contractors and small business owners in the construction industry. Through our comprehensive Business Operational Systems Support (B.O.S.S.), we’ve expanded our reach to provide educational workshops, coaching, and strategic partnerships that help businesses scale, thrive, and contribute to the overall well-being of our communities. Together, SOUL and SOUL Works L3C are working to build a lasting impact.
A shift in focus led to new opportunities.
S.O.U.L. has always been committed to improving urban living by addressing key challenges such as housing, economic development, and sustainability. As S.O.U.L. grew, the organization recognized a growing need for small businesses, especially contractors, to gain operational efficiency and access to crucial resources. This led to the creation of SOUL Works L3C, a dedicated initiative to bridge the gap between business challenges and opportunities in the construction sector.
Building a brighter future together.
SOUL Works L3C stands as a natural extension of S.O.U.L.'s commitment to community growth. Our mission is clear: we empower small businesses and contractors with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. By offering strategic coaching, business systems, and community-building programs like B.O.S.S., we help entrepreneurs scale their businesses and contribute to the growth of their neighborhoods, strengthening both their bottom line and the community fabric.
Rooted in community, growing through opportunity.
The story of SOUL Works L3C began with a vision to provide holistic support to urban communities by addressing both social and economic needs. Initially formed as Sustainable Opportunities for Urban Living, Inc. (S.O.U.L.), the organization focused on making urban living more sustainable. However, it quickly became evident that the backbone of any thriving community is the success of its local businesses. With that insight, the formation of SOUL Works L3C allowed us to dedicate ourselves to fostering business growth and sustainability.
A new chapter for community impact.
As part of the broader vision of S.O.U.L., SOUL Works L3C has become an essential resource for contractors and small business owners in the construction and urban development industries. Our services, such as Business Operational Systems Support (B.O.S.S.), offer critical tools and strategic coaching that help entrepreneurs operate more effectively, making a real difference in the development of their businesses and, by extension, their communities. Together, we are paving the way for sustainable business growth and community empowerment.
