Entrepreneurship for Thriving Communities

We believe enterprise and business are powerful tools for community transformation.

At the Center for Community Transformation (CCT), we exist to see communities across the Central Valley thrive. Through our entrepreneurship initiative, we walk alongside emerging and established business owners with training, support, and resources to succeed.

Business is more than profit—it’s about families building stability, neighborhoods gaining strength, and local leaders creating opportunities for their communities.
