CCATE's mission is to ignite social transformation by developing the talents of and empowering the Latinx community through culture, art, career development, and education. As this mission is realized, CCATE's work has grown to include health, science and technology, environmental care, and participatory research.
Based on family, student, and faculty interests and talents, CCATE collaboratively designs classes for youth and families. What makes CCATE unique is how through the intersection of our dreams and determination, the organization collectively creates space for individual growth, community engagement and social change. CCATE's vision is that, through holistic development of the community, the dreams of the Latinx community can be achieved.
