We are one of the city’s largest providers of community school programs and school-based mental health services.   
PWC merged with the Center for Arts Education (CAE), an organization that has delivered high-quality arts education programs that nurture the development of social and emotional learning in NYC public school students as a core part of their pre-K to 12 th grade education. PWC’s Arts Education programs and approach are rooted in an understanding of the impact of poverty and trauma on children, a steadfast commitment to antiracism, and expertise in children’s social-emotional wellbeing. We offer ongoing paid training and professional development for our Teaching Artist staff in healing arts, S.E.L, and culturally sustaining practices.
