CBA JUNIORS MISSION STATEMENT

CBA JUNIORS is a youth community organizing and leadership development initiative that focuses on increasing youth participation and voice in public policies and decision-making that economically affects our lives and education. We need to partnership with surrounding local community businesses.

These businesses survive from our families' patronage. It is appropriate that these businesses teach us about public policy and how we can, positively or negatively, influence public policy to ensure we become successful adults within the community.

Public policy makers affect our ability to finance a higher education, get a job, buy a home or open and operate a business to provide us with mentorship, jobs and program participation opportunities that we otherwise might not have access to due to our families' circumstances.
