Service Update: All Programs Resumed

Our Programs 

Cooline believes that all young people can become dedicated service leaders.

We work to create fun & engaging service-leadership skill-building projects, events, and programs for children ranging from 3-year-olds to 18-year-olds.

CoolineKids Program (Formerly: Littles Program)

Grades K-5

Our largest program yet with over 400 students, the Cooline Kids program (formerly known as the Littles Program) inspires children to be leaders through games, art, and play. Students learn valuable leadership skills through various monthly leadership qualities from valuing diversity to emotional intelligence to problem-solving.

CoolineConnect Program (Formerly: Teens Program)

Grades 6-8

Once our Cooline Kids students outgrow the program, they are left with nothing throughout middle and high school. Cooline Connect focuses on connecting our Cooline Kids program graduates to other community organizations that students can participate in through middle and high school.

Cooline Leadership Development Program

High School: Making a Difference One Young Person at a Time

As CTEPA grows, we increasingly see that we need programs in the community to train our young people to become active leaders. In this new program that launched in March 2021, high school students learn about 4 vital leadership areas and get counseling from community leaders and local activists. In return, they work as part-time staff for our Cooline Kids team to help plan and lead our programming for children.
