• CCNA’s flagship program, Reach and Rise for Excellence (RARE), is a mentoring and professional development program serving 6th – 8th-grade students at two Alexandria middle schools.  RARE focuses on academic achievement, mentoring, leadership development, cultural education, and parent involvement. The program is provided at no cost to families and includes academic support such as help with homework,  diagnostic tools in tutoring, and online programs to support classroom instruction. Academic supports are supplemented by cultural enrichment activities, team-building and leadership activities, and general life skills educational activities.  

​

• Parent Engagement Workshops empower parents to advocate to teachers and school officials on behalf of their children.  This unique program prepares Parent Outreach Workers to be responsible for and successful at building relationships with parents, identifying their needs and ensuring that they attend the program workshops.  

​

• CCNA Community Forums brings together stakeholders to enhance partnerships within the community. These forms seek to education, empower and inspire underserved community members. Topics include health, economic well-being, safety, and housing and transportation issues.
