Establish a link for minority and African American Youth with African American role models and business owners throughout the state. Another goal of the Junior California Black Chamber of Commerce is to develop a network of resources which will assist African American youth in identifying opportunities that will assist them in developing the necessary job and business skills for competing in today's evolving capital markets.
