What we aim to solve
The conduct of today’s youth is a multi-faceted reflection of their homes and society's decline of moral values and unfavorable social conditions. Research on youth violence has increased our understanding that prolonged negative experiences produce toxic stress at an early age, contributing to society's social and moral degradation. We believe that without addressing the unresolved traumatic issues in a youth’s life, primarily as they manifest in habitual disengagement patterns and developing a value system toward the common good, youth will not take full advantage of opportunities in their lives. We can either create new opportunities and hope that youth can succeed in them or work on developing individuals who will take advantage of new opportunities and overcome life’s adversities. We choose the latter!

C.A.E.'s "The Divergent" Project
C.A.E.'s Divergent Project employs The National Curriculum and Training Institute (NCTI) Crossroads® Cognitive-Behavioral Change System to teach pro-social behaviors through an interactive learning process. The curriculum focuses on the relationship between values, attitudes, and behaviors as they relate to the decision making process.
Crossroads® evidence-based curricula are delivered in a group format, and follow a precise sequence that leads participants from a general level of discussion to a specific behavioral commitment. This general-to-specific movement accomplishes five important goals:
1. Enables individuals to see the process as relevant to themselves
2. Adapts the process to the participant’s own learning style by including interactive exercises that require full participation
3. Expands personal comfort zones and expectations
4. Internalizes information and helps participants practice pro-social skills
5. Enhances the opportunity for personal discovery
Workshop topics include:
Adult Curricula
• Anger Management
• Cognitive Life Skills
• Domestic Violence
• Drugs & Alcohol
• DUI
• Felony Offenses

LED-Lit POI balls and jump ropes, hula hoops, basketballs, and other training aids will add to the excitement of the show while demonstrating the students' level of dexterity.
C.A.E.'s Students Taking Ownership Mentoring Project (S.T.O.M.P.)
C.A.E.’s Students Taking Ownership Mentoring Project (S.T.O.M.P.) is a prevention program designed to combat all forms of violence and positively impact youth grades 5 -12, their families, and ultimately the community at large.
Services are offered in a safe and productive environment (S.T.O.M.P. Safe HUB) where participating youth and their families are encouraged to be introspective, empowered to lead, and equipped to address the mental, social, and economic triggers that attribute to violent behaviors.
S.T.O.M.P. has four overarching project goals to address risk factors associated with youth violence:
1. Increase community awareness of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), resilience, and trauma-informed care.
2. Develop moral reasoning through biblical principles, faith-driven engagement activities, and peer-led initiatives.
3. Break cycles of adversity through reverse and peer group mentoring creating an efficient holistic system of care for youth and their families.
4. Create safe spaces for youth where they can come together, engage in activities, and express themselves in a healthy and respectable manner.
As a prevention program, the primary goal is to stop violence before it begins by employing a nondenominational faith-based model that will affect the factors that influence violence.
Four youth-led community incubators will educate and empower S.T.O.M.P. Ambassador Leaders to raise the awareness of issues that affect their communities and enable them to facilitate deliberate action plans and strategic solutions to deter violence.
Evidence-based and data-driven programs and services will provide holistic support by offering consistent mentorship, advocacy, and arts-infused education that encourages positive emotional, spiritual, and social development for youth participants, and proven support systems for their families.
The anticipated outcomes of the program will be realized over six phases. The success of those outcomes will be measured by several evaluation methods including self-evaluation surveys, interviews, forms, and forms over time, against a pre-determined set of criteria (Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Participants that graduate from the program are assessed on a semi-annual basis.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Responsive & Positive Interventions & Supports: a) Offer a positive and fun-filled professional environment b) Value academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs c) Use arts-infused strategies for teaching appropriate behaviors.
Holistic Programming: a) Deploy combined strategies of arts-infused technical instruction to provide unique educational experiences; reflecting the highest standards of both excellence and diversity.
College & Career Planning: a) Focus on college & career exploration activities and experiences. b) Incorporate multiple pathways to carry young people from middle school to adulthood through Life and Career Action Plans.
Family Engagement Mandate: a) Integrate the efforts of teachers, counselors, parents, and industry partners in order to achieve the best outcomes. b) Parent & Student capacity building enrichment activities and support
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We explore specific models inclusive of civic engagement projects, career and technical education programs of study, family engagement, and art-based learning activities.
Students enjoy several arts-infused on-demand services delivered in a flexible schedule model, and small group interaction. Experienced and seasoned instructors work with youth and adult learners to create individual learning plans and students have the opportunity to learn how to “learn on-line” in a supportive lab environment where instruction is tailored to individual needs and pace. We also provide the assessment and counseling support needed to make sound educational decisions that are directly tied to sound educational and career development outcomes, their aspirations, and vision for their future.
C.A.E.'s combined strategies provide unique educational experiences in the arts; reflecting the highest standards of both excellence and diversity.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our experience with alternative learning led us to analyze how community professionals could best work together to create a hub of education structure and develop anti-traditional strategies that would best benefit the individuals in dire need of the resources we provide. C.A.E. cultivates culturally responsive teaching, community experiential immersion, peer review accountability, cultural relevance, hands-on learning & community responsibility to reinforce learning outcomes.
Integrity
We remain true to our mission and work hard to provide high-quality programs and exceptional service to our participants and maximize our donors' support.
Leadership
To be a leader and a model in both programming and operations, we will embrace appropriate risk levels; we will foster an entrepreneurial spirit informed by inquisitiveness, due diligence, creativity, and responsible stewardship of our assets.
Innovation
We will be an innovative and agile organization; to this end, we will rely on strategic, collaborative approaches to initiate and support pioneering programs and workshops that break new ground.
Lasting Outcomes
We seek to advance new ideas and discoveries that address the root causes of fundamentals decline; we will define success by objectives linked to a significantly positive and lasting impact on individuals and the broader society.
Collaboration
We will work with and convene community leaders to develop and implement strategies that support innovation and bring new ideas and information to targeted groups; new collaboration areas will evolve as we continually reevaluate needs.
Core Values
We will bring to our workshops and seek in our relationships with others a commitment to, and belief in, empowering children and youth, adults, seniors, job seekers, and workforce partners to develop the next generation of ethical community leaders.
Learning
We will engage in arts-infused education and entrepreneurial approaches of continuous learning, hard work, and reassessment; we recognize that these qualities are essential to our mission's achievement.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
B.J. Pleasant founded CAE in 2008 in response to the lack of alternative learning programs, poor academic performance in schools, and rising violence in Stark County, Ohio. Recognizing that underserved children were most affected by these issues, CAE set out to provide a coalition-based mentoring arts academy focused on a three-prong family, school, and community engagement approach.
Initially, CAE offered performing arts and business management programming for youth between the ages of 13 and 18. Through our program delivery and analysis of student performance data, CAE identified skill gaps that the Organization was uniquely equipped to address. This data showed an overall average increase of 34% in Science, Reading, and Math performance testing results, a 5% increase in attendance rates, and an 11.4% increase in positive student behavior. Building on the success of its program implementation, CAE later expanded its reach to impact a broader range of services for children and adults between the ages of 7 and 55+ with the skills and training needed to compete in a technology-driven work environment.
Recognizing the high incidence of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use disorder in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, resulting from the closure of several key industries in the 1980s, CAE expanded its services to the area in 2014. CAE trained its staff in trauma-informed practices to better serve the community, focusing on building on individuals' strengths and addressing their unique needs. In 2020, CAE became a certified trauma-informed organization with the expertise to provide essential support services for those affected by trauma, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns.
CAE's experience with alternative learning led the Organization to explore how community professionals and artists could collaborate to create a significant education and support hub for developing non-traditional strategies that would best benefit individuals in need of training and support services. Over the past decade, CAE has refined its coalition-based approach to mobilize community professionals to engage in public action and volunteering to address issues such as high crime rates, high unemployment rates, high drop-out rates, chronic disease, mental health, and substance use disorders.
Today, CAE provides its participants with a variety of arts-infused online and on-demand services delivered in a flexible schedule and small group setting. Experienced and professional instructors from our communities work closely with youth and adult learners to help them make informed educational decisions that align with their academic and career goals. This approach ultimately leads to positive changes in the community's economic, cultural, and social landscape. In addition, CAE provides case management services to its participants, supporting them with the necessary social and emotional support crucial for healing and overall well-being across generations.
