How to Join

1

1. Group Formation

Form a group with four women you trust.

There is a four-step process to join Grameen America: Group, Onboarding, Verification, and Weekly Meetings. The total time commitment for onboarding can take two to four weeks. It all depends on the members, group, and branch staff. All members must demonstrate and acknowledge commitment to our program before receiving their loan funds.

2. Onboarding

You will begin your Grameen onboarding with Continuous Group Training (CGT) as a group. During CGT, you will learn more about our program model and provide physical copies of your documents.
