Fresno Pacific University’s Center for Community Transformation (CCT) is set to launch an innovative program in 2026 designed to foster growth among rural entrepreneurs and small business owners in the Central Valley. This free business accelerator aims to provide essential resources and support to help local entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of starting and growing their businesses.
The program will offer a range of services, including mentorship, training workshops, and access to funding opportunities. By focusing on the unique needs of rural communities, the initiative seeks to create a supportive ecosystem that encourages innovation and economic development.
CCT officials emphasize the importance of empowering local entrepreneurs, as small businesses are vital to the economic health of rural areas.
