Cooline Team of East Palo Alto is now... The Cooline Organization

While Cooline is still in the official process of changing our name, we are now known as 'The Cooline Organization'. Same program, just a new name!

Our History

Cooline was created by Christian Sbragia, a 4th grader who was eager to create a safe space for children to have fun in his neighborhood. With a group of 5, they started, Cooline, a place where the community could gather, have fun and be safe. In 2019, the program refocused to serve children and teach them about emotions, empathy and friendships. Through 2020, the program grew from 15 to 500! Check out the rest to learn more!
