Programs
The Center for Arts Education offers family engagement programs, professional development opportunities for the education industry, and career development training for high school students. CAE’s programs include:
Parents As Arts Partners (PAAP) Grant: a grant offered by CAE to support arts activities for parents and their children. The PAAP grant, which funds 150 schools throughout New York City’s five boroughs, engages families with hands-on interactive arts experiences, including workshops with Teaching artists and visits to cultural organizations.
Career Development Program (CDP): provides New York City public high school students with school-to-career preparation and work experience in the creative industries. Through CDP students gain access to the creative industries with career training that results in an internship in the arts. In 2007 CAE created a website that expands the reach of CDP beyond New York City to engage students, teachers and mentors in the many career opportunities available in the creative industries. CAE also offers careers in the Arts Summer Institute (CITASI) to offer students, teachers, counselors, administrators and parents a deeper awareness of the many career opportunities available in the creative industries.
School Arts Support Initiative (SASI): launched in Spring 2008 in partnership with The New York Times Company Foundation and the New York City Department of Education to provide funding and additional in-kind professional support to three New York City public schools with little or no arts education. SASI grants are being used to help MS 267: Math, Science and Technology Institute in the Bedford Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, JS 231: Magnetech/Tri-Community Jr. High School in southeastern Queens and MS 223: The Laboratory School of Finance and Technology in the South Bronx to assess their arts education needs, engage appropriate providers of arts education and then implement arts education curricula for their students.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
