Through evidence-based programming, intergenerational dialogue, and skill-building workshops, CAC equips youth with the tools to better understand their world—socially, economically, historically, and civically—and to shape it with intention.

Sustainable change begins with education and communication that bridge knowledge, confidence, and contextual gaps. Our work focuses on strengthening the full spectrum of youth development—leadership, self-advocacy, financial literacy, civic understanding, and mental and physical well-being—so that young people are not only prepared for the future but also actively shaping it.

By creating welcoming, rigorous learning spaces rooted in peer-reviewed research and aligned with educational standards, we help young people and adults build trust, share perspectives, and grow together. CAC is not just about conversations—it's about equipping communities to thrive by investing in the power and potential of youth.
