Student Enrichment Program The Student Enrichment Program, like the Parent Opportunity Program, is a series of developmental classes and educational workshops for children and teens (5th to 12th grades) to better themselves alongside their families. Youth developmental and educational classes enrich their lives while we provide young people with opportunities to use their talents and skills. Classes are offered from the fall to the spring with a special program available in the summer. All classes are free and run 4 to 8 weeks. Past classes include fine arts, media, health and nutrition, and science. Modern American Music Program Our Modern American Music program provides music lessons for our families' children and teens. This
unique music program is for youths. Beginners and advanced students have an
opportunity to study in an ensemble and have individual lessons, with some of
the most gifted musicians (instructors) and educators for all genres of music
performance.
This
music program performs music that is historically significant as well as
challenging. The students receive outstanding instruction in performance,
history, and improvisation from our instructors and educators. The music
program helps to increase self-esteem through the feelings of pride and
accomplishment derived from program participation and public performance.
Classes
are free and are held on Saturdays at the center. They run throughout the
school year (no summer classes).

Non-Violent Youth Summit The summit is an annual conference to discuss sensitive topics like gang violence, sex trafficking, drugs, and other topics that are of concern or relate to the lives of children and teens participating in CWAH programs. In our last conference, Aaron Morris, with the new release of his book, "From Gangs To God," captivated youths and adults with his life story. Tales of his inward struggle to find acceptance and belonging in a world where the crime did pay and early demise was considered eminent and customary kept parents and youths on the edges of their seats. One young man was so impressed he said, "Now that's a real man." Summer Program This
developmental and educational program is for youth from 5th to 10th grade.
Youth developmental and educational classes enrich the lives of participants
from low- to moderate-income families while providing them with opportunities
to use their talents and skills. Classes are free.
