The Salinas Valley Junior Chamber Program (SVJCP) empowers emerging professionals ages 22–42 across Monterey County through networking, leadership development, and community engagement. As a program of the Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the SVJCP connects rising leaders with Chamber mentors, providing hands-on opportunities to plan and execute events that strengthen the local business community—such as the annual Children’s Shopping Tour.
Members meet monthly, contribute to at least one committee, and take part in quarterly events that foster professional growth and civic impact. Through this program, participants build valuable relationships, develop leadership experience, and gain insight into the Chamber’s role in shaping the region’s economic future.
