“The leadership of CACD in making substantive differences in the lives of “at-risk” youth in Brampton, Mississauga, the City of Toronto and in Jamaica has been truly remarkable! Ron Cunningham and his CACD team provide innovative, dynamic programming that encourages “at-risk” young people to make positive life choices and become responsible and contributing citizens to society thereby making our communities safer for all.”

The CACD leadership program provided our Alt. Ed. students an opportunity to learn valuable skills that complemented the leadership program that we are completing as a class. The students built a trusting rapport with the workshop facilitator. We feel fortunate that CACD provided our students with such a worthwhile experience. We hope to continue to use their services with future classes.
