To ApplyFor SpringBoard applications go online to www.ulchatt.net or call the Urban League at 756-1762 ext. 14.

Herman Kelly has had Kelly’s Kreations in his head and heart.

But he had nothing about the dessert business on paper until he developed a business plan through the Urban League’s SpringBoard program.

“When you leave the class you have a written business plan, a living and breathing document,” said Kelly, who co-owns Kelly’s Kreations with his wife LuTrisha.

Kelly took SpringBoard in 2012, got his business license during the class and opened his cheesecake and dessert outfit the same year.
