Mentorship Matters
The CEA collaborated with First Priority to provide Game Day, an after-school club that helps to reach kids with faith-based character values in elementary schools. The weekly Game Day club features fun games, character values, and faith-based curriculum. During the weekly sessions, students are engaged in activities with messages of who they are and what they should become. Game Day brings a message of character, supplying monthly lessons on integrity, honesty, and compassion.

Our scholars left empowered and ready to explore the endless possibilities set before them.
CEA extends community service opportunities to middle and high school students, involving them in diverse activities such as social media read-alouds, backpack and toy drive distributions, and events in collaboration with New Mount Olive Baptist Church. Outstanding students have earned more than 50 service hours in a school year, contributing towards meeting graduation requirements and participating in other school honor-related activities.
