ProGeny Place
BUILD YOUR NEXT MOVE. GROW YOUR INCOME. OWN YOUR FUTURE.
Moving More Mid-Southerners to Middle Income
Built for Community. Driven by Opportunity.
ProGeny Place was created with one mission at the center of everything we do: Moving More Mid-Southerners to Middle Income.
We believe talent, creativity, and potential already exist throughout Memphis and the Mid-South, but too many people have been denied access to opportunity, resources, and support.
That’s why we are committed to creating pathways that help individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and future leaders build stable careers, grow successful businesses, and create lasting economic mobility.
Through workforce development, entrepreneurship programs, community partnerships, mentorship, and hands-on training experiences, ProGeny Place exists to help our community move from surviving to thriving. We are passionate about empowering underserved communities with the tools, connections, confidence, and opportunities needed to build brighter futures.
At our core, ProGeny Place is about more than programs , it’s about people. It’s about investing in the potential of our community, strengthening the Mid-South economy, and helping the next generation believe that more is possible for their lives, their families, and their future.
