CCE engages at-risk youth from 5 ethnic groups: Latino, African American, Asian Indian, Caucasian and Arabs. Over the course of the next 12 months, these youth will participate in a series of workshops, field trips and activities designed to build cross-cultural relationships. Through a facilitated community mapping process, youth design and implement a community service or social enterprise project to address a need in their own community – putting their new leadership skills into practice.  By the end of the program, youth will have resume-worthy training, community development expertise and real-life entrepreneurial experiences in implementing on a social enterprise.
