Equipping Future Business Leaders

At the Center for Community Transformation (CCT), we believe that equipping young entrepreneurs with the tools to succeed is a powerful way to address systemic economic challenges in the Central Valley.

Igniting Youth Innovation

As we look to pursue equity in the valley, we find that our marginalized communities often lack opportunities and access to the right resources. This is even more true in our rural communities. This is why we are investing deeper in our rural communities now more than ever. We our taking our 12+ years of experience in raising capital for start-up ideas in the valley and offering this to youth entrepreneurs and creating a platform to share and receive investment to hire themselves and others in good-paying jobs. We offer a series of business plan workshops, feasibility planning, a pitch competition and a 7-week entrepreneurship cohort that will take these youth entrepreneurs from idea to launch.
