Partners

CAT's work engages students and adults of all ages in ways that challenge and empower participants to interrogate barriers built around those marginalized due to race, culture, immigration status, disability, gender, and/or sexual identity. The diversity of our participants reflects the diversity of NYC.

We are grateful for our current and former partners, some of which are listed below.

  • New York City Department of Education: As a certified NYC DOE vendor, CAT is able to collaborate with schools across NYC to provide programming for students, educators, and parents.

  • New York State Education Department: CAT is certified by the NY State Education Department to provide Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) credits, and provides professional development workshops to share our approach to interactive strategies and student-centered pedagogy with teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators across NYC’s public school system.

  • New York State Council on the Arts: NYSCA is dedicated to preserving and expanding the rich and diverse cultural resources that are and will become the heritage of New York's citizens. CAT is grateful for NYSCA's support for NYC Student Shakespeare Festival and CAT Youth Theatre

  • New York City Department of Cultural Affairs: DCLA supports and strengthens NYC vibrant cultural life. CAT is grateful to receive support through their Cultural Development Fund.

  • New York City Department of Youth & Community Development: DYCD has funded several of CAT's academic and social literacy programs, including Literacy Through Drama.

  • Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment: MOME's support enabled us to launch Sound Thinking NYC, a program for high school students focused on addressing gender equity in the music industry.

  • Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice: CAT has been a Cure Violence/Crisis Management Systems provider since 2014, and has been able to expand the program through School Conflict Mediation into additional high schools.
