The mission of the Community Enrichment Project (CEP) is to enhance underserved communities in Washington, D.C. by empowering adolescents within them.  We believe the path to creating strong communities is dependent upon assessing community needs, and building upon the skills and talents that already exist in order to create change from within.

When all is said and done, the real citadel of strength of any community is in the hearts and minds and desires of those who dwell there.
