Center for Community Transformation

Executive Director: Randy White, D.Min.

The Center for Community Transformation (CCT) expresses Fresno Pacific University's mission by fostering initiatives that work toward the transformation of communities in Fresno and the Central Valley into places of abundance and peace. We exist at the Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary to provide a faith rooted, institutional engine and catalyst for systemic and sustainable change in our region, so that it flourishes with entrepreneurial creativity, spiritual freedom, economic vitality and justice, environmental integrity, cross-cultural/social collaboration and political health. What we do: To that end we research concentrated poverty solutions, convene leaders around those solutions and do specialized training in the skill sets necessary to achieve those solutions. Our initiatives: Social enterprise development via our Summit and Spark Tank competition, Latino leadership certification, financial literacy training for extreme poverty neighborhoods, GED completion and civic renewal efforts, including City Summit and others.
