OVERVIEW

About Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre:

Founded in 1979, Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre (CCAC) works with children from poor families in Toronto by giving music and art lessons. The charity works with kids from St. James Town, Regent Park and surrounding areas. Through its music and art lessons, CCAC aims to enrich the lives of children by instilling character, discipline and skill.

Due to low donor interest and Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre's small size of donations and opacity, Charity Intelligence is no longer updating this report. This gives us more time to search and research outstanding Canadian charities. If you would like Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre's information updated, please get in touch with us.

Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre reports that over 300 kids take part in its programs, of which roughly 70% come from low-income families. CCAC subsidizes the costs of its programs on a sliding scale to ensure children from all income levels can participate. CCAC offers music and art lessons, in both individual and group settings, every day of the week. The charity also runs a summer camp in July.

Children at CCAC take part in music recitals, theatre performances, art shows and local events. Such activities promote family and community pride. By active participation, children develop confidence, skills and a sense of hope.
