The New Dimensions in Community Education Program has flourished into 6 distinct formats:

New Dimensions in Delinquency Prevention
New Dimensions in Family Empowerment
New Dimensions in Neighborhood Empowerment
New Dimensions in Improving Community Control
New Dimensions in Rights of Passage
New Dimensions in Out of School Time
New Dimensions in Supplemental Educational Services

Each format combines “best practices” in the field of prevention, intervention and reading enhancement with CAW’s proprietary cultural curriculum: daily pledge and song, the “Olde Fashioned Manners” module, completion of an Afrocentricity Workbook, reading of classic literature, African Drumming & Dancing lessons, and the culmination each term with the Annual Showcase, which is produced, performed and choreographed by youth.

CAW’s future – like its history – is on the leading edge in youth and family programming. CAW is currently seeking funding for innovative projects:

Celebrity Center for Arts and Technology – Facility to house administration and year round offerings including cultural arts programs & special events

The Village Network – A coalition of corporations, public officials, community leaders, educators, parents, and citizens who support youth development.

Corporate Sponsored Scholarships – Working with corporate partners to provide scholarships to reduce the number of youth on CAW’s waiting list high-quality after-school and summer programs.

Independent Parent Council – To foster parental involvement and advocacy among parents of at-risk youth.
