CCATE is unique because we affirm the value of each individual’s voice, from children to adults of all backgrounds. We passionately create opportunities for individual and collective expression as well as encourage community leadership as individuals take on leadership roles, and dreaming, designing, and creating together. We strive to foster collective leadership among community members to amplify community voices. Our students include children and family members and our teachers include children and family members; volunteers may teach a class and also take classes offered at CCATE.
“I think of CCATE as almost like a tree. Rooted in the community and drawing strength from everybody around it.”
