Giving Back
CCAE is proud to contribute to social cohesion in our community by partnering with other Cambridge organizations in need. Whether through creating tailored classes for our partners, providing a gathering space, or offering financial relief, we are thrilled to work with like-minded nonprofit organizations to make our excellent classes available to those who might not otherwise be able to access them.
CCAE partners with local organizations, including:
Culinary Job Training Program students, who have had difficulties finding a traditional path to a job, sharpen their skills and promote their joy of cooking with international cooking classes at CCAE.
The mission of Cambridge Volunteer Clearinghouse (CVC) is to strengthen civic life in Cambridge by championing local volunteer opportunities and supporting an effective and inclusive volunteer corps.
Homeless or formerly homeless women in Cambridge build entrepreneurial skills in CCAE classes including “Build an Online Crafts Store with Etsy” or “How to Start A Housecleaning Business.”
Parents of Prospect Hill Academy students take English as a Second Language classes to help them focus on communication skills and integrate into their greater community.
